                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 5, 2011

  Mr. AUSTRIA. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the people of Ohio's Seventh 
Congressional District, I rise today to recognize Ms. Sandy Skinn for 
her induction into the Greene County Women's Hall of Fame.
  Ms. Sandy Skinn, along with five other candidates, was selected from 
a pool of many worthy women to receive this honor, and thus, she was 
nominated for her great endeavors in Girl Scouting.
  Ms. Skinn has worked closely with co-leader and fellow inductee Jan 
Dobo. Sandy has worked for over 30 years to promote the positive 
qualities of leadership skills, strong values, confidence and 
conviction about self-worth to young women. The troop led by Ms. Skinn 
and Ms. Dobo have maintained an open troop, reaching out to girls 
interested in joining the Girl Scouts from beyond their North 
Beavercreek neighborhood. Her love of the outdoors has led to many 
camping trips, both in Ohio and as far as Maine for activities ranging 
from outdoor survival training, to week-long sailing and adventures. 
Sandy and Jan have been co-chairs of the Beavercreek North Service 
Unit, which serves over 500 girls, as a Council area of Greene, Warren, 
Miami, Montgomery and Clark Counties. Additionally, Sandy has served as 
the Greene County representative on the Buckeye Trails Girls Scout 
council Board, which covered a multi-county area, and she has also 
served on various Council committees.
  Thus, with great pride; I congratulate Ms. Sandy Skinn for her 
exemplary service to Greene County and extend best wishes for the 
future.
