                       Thursday, October 12, 2000

  Mr. RODRIGUEZ. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize Ms. Dorothy M. Moody, 
who recently received the Woman of the Year award from the Bowden 
Chapter of Business and Professional Women. Her service to the 
community and dedication makes this award appropriate. Ms. Moody 
attended St. Phillips College, a Historically Black College, where she 
studied business and secretarial applications. These skills led to a 
diverse range of jobs, from secretary for the Afro-American Insurance 
Company to secretary for the San Antonio Independent School District, 
and today she is currently employed at the Emmanuel Baptist Church. Ms. 
Moody has exhibited leadership and faithfulness in personal development 
through the college Bible courses she teaches at the church.
  In her position as chair of the Annual Woman's Day Observance, Ms. 
Moody exceeded her financial goals and suggested that the surplus be 
donated to the BBJ Memorial Foundation Inc. Compassion, goal-oriented 
and generous are standards that Ms. Moody sets for anyone to follow. 
With the gifts that she has received, she continues to dedicate a part 
of her life to education by helping a student attend St. Phillips 
College. Through hard work and dedication she strives to help others 
reach their dreams of a college education.
  I join the members of the Bowden Chapter of Business and Professional 
Women in recognizing Ms. Moody as Woman of the Year.
