  Mr. GERLACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Lillian A. 
Gambone of Norristown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania on her 
installation as President of the Women's Auxiliary to the Firemen's 
Association of the State of Pennsylvania.
  A Norristown native, Ms. Gambone joined the Fairmount Engine Company 
No. 2 Ladies Auxiliary in 1983. She served as Secretary for eleven 
years and has held the office of Vice-President since 2009. 
Additionally, Ms. Gambone has served on numerous committees throughout 
the course of her membership and is especially noted for chairing the 
homemade cake and pie sale for many years. She is a hard worker and 
dedicated to all of her commitments, including her roles as mother and 
grandmother.
  Ms. Gambone joined the Women's Auxiliary to the Firemen's Association 
of the State of Pennsylvania on September 28, 1989, served as Secretary 
for the Women's Auxiliary, and in 2008, was elected Vice-President and 
rose through the ranks to become President.
  Mr. Speaker, in light of her years of service to the community and 
litany of outstanding accomplishments, I ask that my colleagues join me 
today in recognizing Lillian A. Gambone on the occasion of her 
installation as President of the Women's Auxiliary to the Firemen's 
Association of the State of Pennsylvania.
