  Mr. RADANOVICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. Mickey 
Peabody for her many years of service and leadership to the City of 
Oakdale and the community of Stanislaus County. On January 19th, 
friends and colleagues will hold an event to express sincere gratitude 
and to congratulate Mickey as she receives the Lifetime Achievement 
Award from the Oakdale Chamber of Commerce.
  In addition to her history of great community involvement, Mickey 
will be thanked for her years of devotion to the Stanislaus County 
Commission for Women, Childcare Planning Council, Mental Health Board, 
Commission on Aging, Citizens Against Substance Abuse, Oakdale Fights 
Back, and the California Senior Legislature--along with many other 
agencies and commissions.
  In addition to this Lifetime Achievement Award, Mickey has received 
awards that include Outstanding Woman of the Year, Outstanding Senior 
Citizen, and Woman of Distinction. Additionally, Mickey has earned a 
leadership award from the California Public Health Consortium and the 
National Center for Small Communities.
  Mickey has a past filled with great instances of charity and 
compassion, and she will undoubtedly continue this same community 
devotion in the years to come.
  Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Mrs. Mickey Peabody for her many 
years of service and philanthropy. I urge my colleagues to join me in 
wishing her many years of continued happiness and success.
