                          HON. ADAM B. SCHIFF

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 5, 2007

  Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Flintridge 
Foundation, which will receive the 2007 Community Award presented by 
the Gamma Zeta Boule Foundation at their Annual Scholarship Luncheon in 
Pasadena, California on June 10, 2007. Each year, this award is given 
to an individual or organization that demonstrates extraordinary 
commitment and dedication to education and the community.
  The Flintridge Foundation was created in 1985 and strongly upholds 
the values of individuality, diversity, and creativity on which it was 
founded. Francis and Louisa Moseley believed that the private sector 
was well qualified to understand and quickly respond to the changing 
needs of individuals and society as a whole, and out of that vision the 
Flintridge Foundation was born.
  Since its beginning, the Flintridge Foundation has provided 
$23,531,290 in grants and has developed a conservation program that has 
helped to conserve biological heritage and ensure the sustainability of 
natural resources

by supporting the preservation and restoration of native ecosystems in 
the Pacific Northwest.
  For their success and commitment to promoting education, the 
environment, and many other important priorities, I ask all Members of 
Congress to join me in congratulating the Flintridge Foundation upon 
receiving the 2007 Community Award.
