                       Wednesday, March 10, 2010

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Rhonda Spaulding, Deliverance Evangelistic Church's First Lady, on her 
first Women's Conference. I congratulate Sister Spaulding on this 
achievement, as it will greatly benefit the women, and larger 
community, of Philadelphia.
  As First Lady of the Deliverance Evangelistic Church, Sister 
Spaulding is a devoted teacher and community servant. Working with her 
church, she has been involved with various ministries dedicated to 
bettering the surrounding neighborhood. In an effort to continue and 
extend her community outreach and assistance, she has established the 
Deliverance Evangelistic Church's first Women's Conference, to be held 
on April 22 and 23, 2010.
  This conference will address many of the most pressing issues facing 
women in Philadelphia. The unique needs and concerns of abused women, 
women in shelters, and young single mothers will be paid special 
attention. In focusing on the women of her community, especially the 
most disadvantaged, Sister Spaulding will be strengthening her 
community for generations to come.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues 
join me in thanking First Lady Rhonda Spaulding and the Deliverance 
Evangelistic Church for their work in bettering their community, and 
congratulate Sister Spaulding on the occasion of her first Women's 
Conference.
