                       Wednesday, March 28, 2012

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Women's History 
Month. Each year during the month of March, we pay special tribute to 
the accomplishments made by our nation's most distinguished women.
  Today I pay tribute to Eleanor K. Andrews, an extraordinary woman of 
California's 29th Congressional District. As a resident of the city of 
San Gabriel, California, for over 50 years, Eleanor has always strived 
to make the city a better place.
  Earlier in her career, Eleanor served on the Board of Trustees of the 
San Gabriel School District for 10 years. In addition, she was very 
active with the San Gabriel Valley YMCA, where she served as Vice 
President.
  Today, Eleanor continues to serve the community she calls home. 
Currently, Ms. Andrews, who is the San Gabriel City Clerk, tirelessly 
volunteers in many organizations. Eleanor is the Co-Chair of the Senior 
Christmas Basket Program, where she dedicates her time to doing all the 
grocery shopping, and knitting over 60 pairs of slippers to put in all 
the baskets every year. In addition, she is a member and Past President 
of the Women's Division of the San Gabriel Chamber of Commerce, member 
and Treasurer of the San Gabriel Community Coordinating Council, serves 
on the Executive Committee and as Research Chairwoman of the 2013 San 
Gabriel Centennial Committee, and serves on the Board of the San 
Gabriel Historical Association, where she was the Association's Past 
President, and now serves as the Recording Secretary.
  I ask all Members to join me today in honoring an outstanding woman 
of my district, Eleanor K. Andrews, for her exceptional service to the 
community.
