                        Thursday, April 18, 2002

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to Jody Voss and thank her for her extraordinary 
contributions to the Boys' and Girls' Club of Pueblo, Colorado. Her 
life-long dedication to both her job and the youth of Pueblo is matched 
only by the level of integrity and honesty with which she has conducted 
herself each and every day while at her post. She is known as a kind 
and caring soul with the utmost dedication and talent, and is known as 
a leader in her community. As Jody celebrates her recent milestone of 
twenty years with the organization, let it be known that I, along with 
each and every person with whom she has worked in Pueblo, are eternally 
grateful for all that she has accomplished in her many years of 
service.
  Jody went to work for the Boys' and Girls' Club of Pueblo in 1982. As 
executive director, Jody, and the rest of her dedicated leadership, 
grew the organization from one center serving two-hundred fifty kids to 
seven centers involving over three thousand kids. For over twenty 
years, Jody has selflessly given her time, energy and unrelenting 
commitment to the youth of Pueblo, a milestone recently celebrated by 
the organization in early March. She is considered by many to be the 
backbone of the organization and the success the club enjoys today is a 
direct reflection of her diligence and commitment to our younger 
generations.
  Mr. Speaker, it is clear that Jody Voss is a woman of unparalleled 
dedication and commitment to both her professional endeavors and the 
people of her community. It is her unrelenting passion for each and 
every thing she does, as well as her spirit of honesty and integrity 
with which she has always conducted herself, that I wish to bring 
before this body of Congress. She is a remarkable woman, who has 
achieved extraordinary things in her career and for her community. It 
is my privilege to extend to Jody Voss my congratulations on twenty 
years of faithful service and wish her the best in her future 
endeavors.
