                        Thursday, April 15, 2010

  Mr. GALLEGLY. Madam Speaker, I rise in tribute to Deb Holler, who 
will be honored Friday as the 2010 Woman of the Year by the First 
Ladies of Simi Valley Hospital Foundation.
  Every year, First Ladies honors one remarkable woman from a local 
business or organization who gives of her time, talents and treasures 
to a local organization that benefits the community.
  Deb Holler gives of her time, talents and treasures in spades.
  Deb and her husband, Bob Huber, have been close personal friends of 
my wife, Janice, and me for many, many years and I know firsthand the 
contributions she has made. For the past 20 years, Deb has been deeply 
active in the community she calls home. She supports many community 
events and has graciously opened her home for a wide variety of 
fundraisers for community organizations.
  Deb has been a member of the Rotary Club of Simi Valley for the past 
13 years and is the current President. She also serves on several 
boards within the community, including the Simi Valley Chamber of 
Commerce, where she served as its Chief Financial Officer, and the Boys 
& Girls Club.
  Deb also has been involved with the Moorpark Community College 
Foundation Board and is a graduate of Leadership Simi Valley. In 2006, 
Deb was named Business Person of the Year by the Simi Valley Chamber of 
Commerce for her high ethical business standards and outstanding 
leadership abilities.
  Over the years, Deb has hosted numerous fundraisers for many worthy 
organizations, including the Free Clinic of Simi Valley, the Rotary 
Club of Simi Valley, the Simi Valley Community Foundation, the Boys & 
Girls Club, the Samaritan Center and the Moorpark College Foundation.
  Deb has consistently made herself available to help others for many 
years, oftentimes putting her own needs aside to do so. Deb Holler is 
categorically deserving of this honor.
  Madam Speaker, I know my colleagues will join the First Ladies of 
Simi Valley Hospital Foundation and me in thanking Deb Holler for her 
numerous contributions to her community and in congratulating her for 
being awarded Woman of the Year.
