            RECOGNIZING THE ACTIVITIES OF MRS. RUTH WILLNER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. HILDA L. SOLIS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, January 4, 2005

  Ms. SOLIS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize an extremely active 
and dedicated woman, Mrs. Ruth Willner for her contributions to the 
Monterey Park Democratic Club. In addition to working and raising two 
children, Mrs. Willner has still found the time to be very involved in 
her community.
  Many groups in the Los Angeles area are fortunate to count Mrs. 
Willner as one of their members. However, the time that she has 
contributed to the Monterey Park Democratic Club is especially 
remarkable. Mrs. Willner has been a Monterey Park Democratic Club 
member for nearly 40 years.
  In addition to being a member she also assumed the role of the club's 
Newsletter Editor and has held that position for the past 20 years. For 
the past two decades, she has served as the newsletter's only reporter, 
writer and editor. Her work played an integral role in keeping members 
up to date and in touch.
  In December, Mrs. Willner produced her last newsletter for the club 
and retired as the Newsletter Editor. Although she will relinquish her 
position, her hard work and devotion will not be forgotten. Her 
commitment and drive is an inspiration to us all.
