                       Friday, September 25, 2015

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the work of 
Evelyne Rominger a community leader, mentor and one of my district's 
2015 Woman of the year.
  Whereas, on the Twenty-Second Day of September, of the Year Two 
Thousand and Fifteen, Evelyne Rominger was recognized as a 2015 Woman 
of the year.
  Whereas, Evelyne Rominger was raised south of Davis on a dairy farm. 
She met her husband Richard while they were both students at UC Davis 
and they have been married for 64 years. Evelyne has been a very active 
community member her entire life, starting with the Dixon 4-H Club and 
as the student body vice president of Davis High School and later as a 
member of the Commission of the Californias. She has also been active 
in several health associations, including as the founding board member 
of the Yolo County Mental Health Association.
  Whereas, Evelyne has been an unabashed, lifelong advocate for gender 
equality and social justice issues. She clearly and persuasively 
articulates the critical elements of any topic while leaving no room 
for ambiguity. Evelyne has spent a lifetime perfecting the art of 
challenging the status quo and pushing the limits of conventional 
thinking while promoting change by skillfully applying her elements of 
unconventional wisdom.
  Whereas, Evelyne has an enormous capacity to engage, mentor, and 
advocate for complex and sensitive issues, and to achieve the presumed 
unachievable, no matter the condition or concern. She also embodies a 
unique quality that demands intellectual clarity and a thoughtful 
approach to strategic planning, all while inspiring communities of 
people to move in a like direction. Evelyne is as dedicated to our 
California community as she is to her family and her friends and to 
traveling the world. She is a model for living a dedicated and 
productive life.
  Resolved, That I Congressman John Garamendi of California's Third 
Congressional District, do hereby recognize and celebrate the 
accomplishments of Evelyne Rominger.
