                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 29, 2006

  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, each year the Columbia College 
Arts, Entertainment of Media Management Department pays tribute to 
those who support, the business of culture with its Arts 
Entrepreneurship award. The Maywood Fine Arts Association has been a 
unique entity for many years which offers an environment where children 
can develop skills and appreciation for the arts.
  To develop and sustain what is essentially a grassroots cultural and 
arts group is no easy task and yet Lois Baumann has been able to 
generate community support sufficient to keep this effort alive and on 
course. She and her family have worked day in and day out, they have 
scrubbed, patched and painted, to make the center a great place. They 
have given of their own time, energy and resources to make this program 
and to make this center work. I commend Ms. Lois Baumann and her family 
for making the Maywood Fine Arts Association a real program for Maywood 
and its surrounding communities.
