                        Thursday, June 19, 2008

  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Pamela 
Sonnenmoser of Northwest Missouri. Pamela is active in the community 
through work and in her spare time and she has been chosen to receive 
the YWCA Women of Excellence Award for Emerging Leader.
   Pamela Sonnemoser is a multi-talented individual as a floral 
designer, artist, journalist, and public speaker. She is also reaching 
out with Christian love and the desire to enrich the lives of others. 
Whether through daily inspirational radio messages on our St. Joseph 
Christian radio or by speaking at retreats or seminars, she focuses on 
spiritual and/or personal and professional development of women. As a 
Certified Personality Trainer, Pamela helps women improve relationships 
with family, friends and coworkers and find their niche in the 
workplace by learning and developing the strengths of their 
temperament. Pamela is a contributing author to three books in the 
Christian non-fiction genre.
   Her talents to train and guide others have been further recognized 
by her appointment to the training faculty of the Christian Leaders 
Authors and Speakers Services (CLASS). Her volunteer efforts include 
being a staff member at God's Mountain Youth Camp, speaking for church 
groups at no cost, organizing teen groups to feed the hungry of the 
inner city, and teaching creative writing workshops on poetry at the 
Atchison Public Library for home school groups.
   Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Pamela 
Sonnenmoser. She has made an amazing impact on countless individuals in 
her community. I am honored to represent her in the United States 
Congress.
