                        Wednesday, March 2, 2016

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to an 
individual whose dedication and contributions to the community of 
Canyon Lake in Riverside County, California are exceptional. On Friday, 
March 11th, Sosy Robinson will be honored as the Citizen of the Year by 
the Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce.
  Born in Pasadena, California, Sosy Robinson was the first American 
citizen in her family which migrated to this country from the Middle 
East. Sosy's family moved to Canyon Lake in 2012 from Orange County and 
she went on to graduate from Temescal Canyon High School. Sosy and her 
husband, A.J., have six children, whose ages range from two to 25 years 
old.
  In Canyon Lake, Sosy is serving for the second consecutive year as 
President of the Family Matters Club. The club hosted over 38 events, 
meetings and family meet-ups last year alone. Sosy is also a member of 
the Canyon Lake Lioness Club, serves as the official bingo caller at 
the Canyon Lake Senior Center, and graciously delivers groceries for 
homebound seniors in need. The nomination of Sosy for the Citizen of 
the Year award summed it up well: ``Our community is made a much, much 
better place because of Sosy and all her hard work and dedication.''
  In light of all that Sosy has done for the community of Riverside 
County and the city of Canyon Lake, it is only fitting to honor her as 
Citizen of the Year. Sosy has contributed immensely to the betterment 
of our region and I am proud to call her a fellow community member, 
American and a constituent of the 42nd Congressional District. I add my 
voice to the many who will be congratulating Sosy Robinson on being 
named Citizen of the Year by the Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce.
