  Mr. RASKIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize my constituent 
Sherry Abelove, who is retiring this week after 31 years of dedicated 
public service. Sherry is a licensed social worker, who has devoted her 
career to serving the people of Maryland and Montgomery County.
  After receiving her master's degree in social work from Washington 
University in St. Louis, Sherry went on to receive her certification as 
a Licensed Certified Social Worker--Clinical in the state of Maryland. 
In 1989, Sherry began work for the Developmental Disabilities 
Administration within Maryland's Department of Health. For 17 years, 
she served Maryland's developmentally disabled residents and their 
families.
  In 2006, Sherry went to work for Aging and Disability within 
Montgomery County's Department of Health of Human Services, where she 
worked within Adult Protective Services to reduce the risk to senior 
citizens and those with disabilities. Sherry continued to dedicate her 
skills and experience to most vulnerable members of the community and 
state.
  Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize the extraordinary career of 
Sherry Abelove and hope that my colleagues will join me in 
congratulating Sherry on a dedicated lifetime of service.
