                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, November 2, 2012

  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, on October 30, 2012 Ms. Cindy Russell will 
receive the White Mountains Treasure Award from the Mt. Washington 
Valley Chamber of Commerce. I am pleased to congratulate her on this 
fine achievement and thank her for all of her service to the 
communities and people of the Mt. Washington Valley.
  Ms. Russell has worked tirelessly to enrich the communities of the 
Mt. Washington Valley through her work as the Executive Director of the 
Arts Jubilee since 1983. She also founded Monarch Events which 
presently serves White Mountains Musical Arts, a non-profit 
organization devoted to bringing great quality live music performances 
to the region. Monarch Events has served many other organizations and 
assisted with such noteworthy events as First Night and the Mount 
Washington Valley's New Year Festival, Conway's Fourth of July 
Celebration, the Polar Express, the Bunny Express, the Easter Parade, 
the 2000 Jackson, NH Bicentennial Celebration, and the 2001 Council on 
State Governments Eastern Regional Conference.
  Ms. Russell's involvement extends even further into the community 
where she is involved in many restoration projects for the Town of 
Conway, helping to preserve historic sites and homes, and shaping them 
into the great centers for the community to gather and celebrate their 
proud heritage. These impressive accomplishments highlight Cindy's 
dedication to her community and her tireless efforts to celebrate 
everything great about New Hampshire's beautiful North Country. I 
congratulate Ms. Russell for receiving this award and for her 
outstanding service to the Mt. Washington Valley. I wish her the very 
best for the future.
