     HONORING EMMA GREEN WITH CALIFORNIA'S THIRD DISTRICT WOMAN OF 
                             THE YEAR AWARD

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN GARAMENDI

                             of california

                  in the house of representatives

                        Friday, November 2, 2018

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Emma Green as a 
woman of the year. She is passionately devoted to improving her 
community both through her career and volunteerism. While 
professionally Emma has had a stellar career at Charter Systems, Inc. 
the financial services company she owned which just celebrated its 30th 
Anniversary, she is more likely to be recognized by the underserved in 
our community for the countless hours of volunteer service providing 
and delivering meals. One of Emma's passions is feeding the needy by 
running the Community Meal Program at the Church of the Epiphany where 
she serves over 350 meals per week. Not only do they serve meals, but 
she coordinates with other service providers to bring medical, dental, 
and transportation services to those in need. Ms. Green's history of 
service also includes her time as President of Vaca Arts, serving on 
Boards of the Boys & Girls Club, performing vocational rehabilitation 
and job placement for the disabled, serving as a liaison to Travis Air 
Force Base Airmen, working with the Vacaville Community Outreach 
Program, and donating her time to many other service organizations 
where she is always the first to help. The significant positive impact 
Ms. Green has had on this community cannot be overstated, which makes 
her extremely worthy of this recognition.
