                          HONORING SIDNY ZINK

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 26, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before this body of Congress and 
this nation today to pay tribute to a selfless community servant from 
my district, Sidny Zink of Durango, Colorado. An active member of the 
Leadership La Plata organization, Sidny was recently honored with the 
``Barbara Conrad Award,'' which recognizes a person who donates 
numerous hours to their community. Today I would like to join with the 
Durango Area Chamber of Commerce in honoring Sidny's commitment and 
recognizing this distinct honor.
  A longtime resident of Durango, Sidny is widely known for her 
dedication to community service. Sidny has been active in a number of 
committees and organizations, such as the Big Brothers Big Sisters 
foundation, Community Development Corporation, the La Plata 
Homebuilders Society, and the Community Development Corporation. While 
Sidny has worked vigorously for the community, she spends much of her 
time with Leadership La Plata, learning how new issues could affect her 
community.
  Mr. Speaker, in a recent ceremony in Durango, last year's recipient 
of the ``Barbara Conrad Award'' Ed Morlan passed on the award in 
recognition of Sidny's commitment to the community. I join with my 
colleagues here today in applauding Sidny's civic-mindedness and in 
recognizing this prestigious honor. Congratulations and thanks again, 
Sidny, for the many years of service you have given the Durango 
community.
