  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Gina Taylor as a 
woman of the year. She is committed to serving children throughout her 
community and devotes her time to many volunteer organizations. As 
president of the Willows Unified School District Board she works with 
other board members to ensure the school district provides a safe and 
engaging learning environment where each student has the opportunity to 
realize their full potential, develop respect and tolerance for others, 
and ultimately become a productive member of the community. Ms. Taylor 
is an integral part of realizing the school district's mission of 
preparing today's students for tomorrow's challenges. The time she 
devotes to the school board is a true testament to how much she values 
education. Ms. Taylor was also a founding member of The Painted Ladies, 
a group that worked to fill the gaps in school budgets by cleaning and 
painting classrooms throughout the district. This work helped to 
provide a positive learning environment for countless students. She has 
also given her time volunteering for the Clover 4-H Club, the Glenn 
County 4-H Council, the Willows High Ag Boosters organization, and the 
Sober Grad event. Ms. Taylor is a dedicated community servant who can 
be depended upon to find a positive approach to each objective she 
pursues. Her accomplishments throughout Glenn County are truly 
remarkable
