HONORING DEBORAH ``DEBBIE'' BEAHAN FOR HER DEDICATION IN SERVING HUDSON

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 21, 2022

  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Deborah ``Debbie'' 
Beahan for her years of service to the Hudson Falls community. Debbie 
spent much of her professional life working for Washington County and 
volunteering for several community organizations. Her dedication to her 
work and community has made a profound impact on Hudson Falls.
  Debbie was born and raised in Ticonderoga, New York and 1974, she 
moved to Hudson Falls. She worked for Washington County for 32 years. 
For 20 years, she worked for the Department of Motor Vehicles, which 
honored her in 1999 for her contributions to the community. After her 
time at the Department of Motor Vehicles, Debbie worked in the County 
Clerk office, serving as Deputy Clerk for 8 years and as County Clerk 
for 4 years.
  In addition to her career in public service, Debbie has volunteered 
at the Senior Center of the Kingsbury & Fort Edward Area, Inc. for the 
past 9 years. She is the president of the board of directors at the 
center and is a vital part of their daily operations. During the 
pandemic, Debbie's work was especially critical, as she made sure the 
members were kept up to date on all pressing matters related to COVID-
19. She also helped to install the ``My Senior Center'' software 
program that reports membership, personnel, events, meals, and 
transportation statistics for the center.
  Debbie got her start as a volunteer with the Special Olympics in the 
1980s as a bowling and track and field coach. She also served as 
treasurer of the Washington County Republican Committee Women's Club, 
was involved with the heart fund, and participates in the Public Health 
Committee for employees. Due to all her years of hard work and 
dedication, it is no surprise that Washington County is honoring Debbie 
for her incredible service as a part of Older Americans Month. On 
behalf of New York's 21st District, I thank Debbie for her dedication 
to the Hudson Falls community and wish her all the best in future 
endeavors.
