  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Margaret 
Heintz, a long time member of the Governing Board of EightCAP, Inc. 
Margaret recently retired from her position at the age of 93--leaving 
as a highly respected and beloved figure within the community.
   Her many years of involvement with EightCAP provided a vast array of 
community services to many in-need individuals contributing to programs 
like Head Start, and Michigan Works, as well as assisting as a senior

companion, promoting charter school funding, and providing 
weatherization programs for low-income home renters.
   Margaret has served on the EightCAP board for over 30 years, 
providing thorough oversight and a vast array of experience to the 
agency's many causes. During her tenure, she assisted in overseeing 
more than $330,000,000 in State, Local, and Federal funding to state 
programs. These programs provided beneficial services to Ionia, 
Montcalm, Gratiot, and Isabella counties.
   Margaret recently stated that her reason for retirement was to 
attend more to her large family of 8 children, 28 grandchildren, and 38 
great-grandchildren--further exemplifying her everlasting desire to 
give to others. On a personal level, Margaret has been a friend and an 
acquaintance of mine for over 50 years.
   On behalf of the Fourth District of Michigan, I congratulate 
Margaret Heintz upon her retirement and thank her for her service to 
the people of Michigan.
