  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Pamela DaGrossa as 
a woman of the year. She is committed to serving her community and 
dedicates her time to support the underserved and less fortunate in 
Colusa County. As a court appointed Special Advocate for Glenn County, 
she devotes her time to mentoring foster children and advances their 
best interest in court. Ms. DaGrossa also works as an Animal Control 
Officer with the Colusa County Sheriff's Department and generously 
volunteers at the Friends of the Colusa County Animal Shelter working 
to save the lives of abused and neglected animals. The Friends of the 
Colusa County Animal Shelter organization provides numerous services to 
Colusa County's underfunded shelter, and as a volunteer Ms. DaGrossa 
saves countless shelter animals by providing foster care, medical 
treatment, vaccinations, and providing transportation to rescue 
organizations. Ms. DaGrossa is also central to empowering and 
encouraging her community to have a strong voice in local and national 
politics. As the chair of the Colusa County Democratic Central 
Committee and active member of Indivisible Colusa, Ms. DaGrossa aims to 
inform voters and encourage individuals to be active in politics. Her 
dedication to improving her community, positive attitude, and 
compassion for all are just a few qualities that make Ms. DaGrossa a 
truly extraordinary individual
