                                 ______

                  in the house of representatives

                        Friday, November 2, 2018

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Cindi Unger as a 
woman of the year. She is passionately devoted to improving her 
community both through her career and volunteerism. Her inspiration and 
motivation to work and volunteer in the Senior Care industry comes from 
her grandparents and their spirit of hard work and sacrifice that they 
passed on to her. Since 1986, when she worked to help open one of the 
first care centers in California focused on individuals living with 
Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, she has helped care providers, 
families, and the community understand and care for those suffering 
with the disease. Her work in my Senior Advisory Group, the Yolo 
Healthy Aging Alliance, and the Solano Senior Coalition has been 
essential to my awareness and understanding of the critical issues 
facing our senior communities. As the co-chair of the Solano Walk to 
End Alzheimer's Planning Committee and a member of the Congressional 
Advocacy Group, Ms. Unger is no stranger to my office and provides 
invaluable insight to me and my staff on a regular basis. The 
significant positive impact she has had on this community cannot be 
overstated, and she is extremely worthy of this recognition.
