  Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Carole Rodenbucher 
of Temple City, California. Each year in March, to recognize Women's 
History Month, we pay special tribute to the accomplishments made by 
our nation's most distinguished women.
  In 1985, when her son Ryan was at Young People's Village Preschool, 
Carole started volunteering by attending all off-site outings and 
working on the first ever Camellia Parade float entry. Since 1988, 
Carole has served as the Parent-Teacher Association, PTA president at 
Emperor Elementary School and at Temple City High School, TCHS. She 
also held several PTA executive board positions and chairmanships. She 
served on the Emperor School Site Council for two terms (two years 
each) as chairman and secretary.
  Carole volunteered as Den Leader for Cub Scout Pack 169; Webelos 
Leader; Den Leader Coach; and Tiger Cub coach, secretary, treasurer, 
and committee chairman (seven years). She was also on the Lucky Baldwin 
Round Table Staff and Scout Expo, Pow Wow, Cub Scout, and Webelos Day 
Camps both at Trask and Cherry Valley. The most fun she had was 
teaching ``Cooking with Carole'' for three years at Camp Trask. She 
also served as the assistant to the Webelos Day Camp Director at Camp 
Trask for five years.
  In 1999, Carole was a chaperone for the TCHS trip to Germany, and in 
2003, 2004, and 2005, Bob and Carole were chaperones on the TCHS 
Washington DC trips. In 2003, Brett was part of the State Department 
exchange program with Russia, and the family had a Russian exchange 
student live with them. In 2005, Carole joined Friends of Foster 
Children, San Gabriel Valley. She has served as a director; secretary; 
Ways and Means; chaired the 2009 luncheon; and for Sugar Plum acted as 
secretary and Outside Groups Coordinator as well as volunteered on 
several committees.
  Carole, her husband Bob, and her two sons Ryan and Brett have 
coordinated the Camellia Festival Grandstand Seating for the last 
twelve years. Carole is the General Chairman for 2010 and was Assistant 
General Chairman in 2009. Carole was in charge of the TCHS Grad Night 
Ram Discount Card in 2000 and 2004, helped on the game booths for Grad 
Night 2004, and continues to volunteer at Grad Night celebrations.
  I ask all Members of Congress to join me today in honoring a 
remarkable woman of California's 29th Congressional District, Carole 
Rodenbucher. The entire community joins me in thanking Carole for the 
meaningful impact she has had on the 29th Congressional District.
