                       Thursday, November 9, 2006

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Darlene 
Hunter Davis, the Illustrious Commandress of Oman Court Number 132, 
Daughters of Isis Auxiliary, to the Imperial Council Ancient Egyptian 
Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. Darlene was honored at the 
46th Annual Commandress Ball on October 28th in my hometown of Flint, 
Michigan.
  The Daughters of Isis Auxiliary was formed in 1910 as an auxiliary of 
the family members of the Prince Hall Shriners. The purpose was to 
unite the relatives of A.E.A.O.N.M.S. Inc. members together under one 
bond of friendship, charity, benevolence, honor and integrity as 
symbolized in the legend of the Egyptian queen, the goddess Isis.
  Darlene Hunter Davis embodies these qualities. After graduating from 
Flint Central High School she attended Detroit College of Business and 
started working for Hurley Medical Center. She went back to school 
after 20 years and obtained her Associate's Degree in Business 
Administration/General Management from Detroit College of Business.
  She is active with Mount Pisgah Church, her family and friends and 
serves on various committees at Hurley Medical Center. Married to Emery 
Davis, she is the mother of Gaquilla H. Skinner, the grandmother of 
three and has several great-grandchildren. Darlene is a member of the 
Royal Star Chapter 27 O.E.S., P.H.A. Jurisdiction of Michigan.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in commending Darlene Hunter Davis on her 
service to the Oman Temple and the Flint community and I wish her the 
best in her future endeavors.
