  Ms. MOORE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and pay tribute 
to Elaine Thaney Schreiber, a teacher, wife, mother and former First 
Lady of the State of Wisconsin. The Silver Spring Neighborhood Center 
recently honored her through its dedication of the Elaine Schreiber 
Child Development Center.
  Elaine served at Silver Spring Neighborhood Center for over 20 years 
as an early childhood teacher, board member, donor and campaign leader; 
she led the Center's successful 2001-03 capital campaign which resulted 
in doubling the size of the Center and greatly expanding their 
services. While serving as First Lady of the State of Wisconsin, she 
championed early childhood immunizations. Thousands of children in 
Milwaukee and throughout the state have benefited as a result of her 
advocacy.
  Elaine Schreiber was born and raised in Milwaukee. She earned a 
degree in education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, as well 
as a graduate degree in early childhood education. She has been married 
to Martin Schreiber, former Governor of Wisconsin since 1961 and 
together they have 4 children and thirteen grandchildren. She is the 
adored aunt to her many nieces and nephews. Elaine is beloved for her 
graciousness, kindness and deep love of children.
  Mr. Speaker, for these reasons, I am honored to pay tribute to Elaine 
Thaney Schreiber for her contributions to the Fourth Congressional 
District. I am proud to call Elaine Schreiber my friend; she has 
acquired a lifetime record of accomplishment and contributed much to 
the greater Milwaukee community and the State of Wisconsin.
