                       HONORING DONNA FERGANCHICK

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 18, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this moment to 
recognize the Honorable Donna Ferganchick of Cedaredge, Colorado. Donna 
is stepping down as Delta County Commissioner after nearly a decade of 
public service.
  Before moving to the position of Commissioner, Donna served for six 
years as County Assessor. She served half of her second term, enabling 
her to be elected the first woman County Commissioner in Delta County 
history. While Commissioner, Donna has served as Chairman and currently 
serves as Vice-Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners.
  Donna's outstanding leadership abilities have not only benefited 
Delta County, but also a number of different organizations on which she 
serves. The Juvenile Diversion Board, the Grand Mesa Scenic By-ways 
Committee, as well as serving as an Alternative Sentencing 
Representative, are just a few of the ways in which Donna focuses her 
energy in order to ensure a better quality of life in Delta County.
  Donna, you have served your community, State, and Nation proudly, and 
I wish you the very best in your future endeavors.
