Washington, who has a long history of service to her community. Ms. Washington is being honored at Taminent Regular Democratic Club's 85th Annual Dinner Dance with the Taminent Community Service Award. Her commitment, enthusiasm, and generosity have helped countless members of her community. Ms. Washington was born in South Carolina and grew up in Bedford- Stuyvesant, Brooklyn as the oldest of four children. She was married to the late James Washington Jr. and is the proud mother of three sons and three granddaughters. Ms. Washington has lived in Astoria, Queens for over 50 years. After graduating from Borough of Manhattan College and Baruch College, Ms. Washington served as a Contract Administrator with the New York City Department of Parks for 31 years. Ms. Washington has dedicated most of her spare time to community service. Her many roles include: Chairperson of the Advisory Board at Elmhurst Hospital; New York State Licensed Chaplain; New York City Department of the Aging Advisory Board Member; Director of Astoria Civic Association; Astoria-LIC Kiwanis; Vice President of SHAREing/ CAREing and Director of Taminent Women's Regular Democratic Club. In recognition of her commitment to serving her community, Ms. Washington has received many awards and honors from New York City Council, State of New York, Congress of the United States, New York State Assembly and the Coleman Foundation, among others. Additionally, Ms. Washington has traveled extensively and has visited five continents. A considerable amount of this travel has been service oriented; including the several trips Ms. Washington has taken to volunteer abroad in Dominica, Kenya and South Africa. Ms. Washington's dedication to aiding others is epitomized by her motto--``If I can help someone as I pass this way, I must do it now, for I may not pass this way again.'' She has demonstrated tireless dedication to her community throughout her entire adult life. Eartha Washington consistently devotes her time and effort to improving the lives of those around her, with great success. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating the extraordinary work of Eartha T. Washington, a New York woman who makes a difference in her community. ____________________ |
