HONORING ANN MURO
______
HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL
of new york
in the house of representatives
Friday, December 2, 2016
Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, those special individuals who dedicate their
lives to improving the community have the power to transform lives for
the better. In Yonkers, no one has had a more transformative effect
than my friend, Ann Muro, an amazing public servant who has dedicated
her life to helping others. Ann grew up in the Colonial Heights section
of Yonkers and attended Annunciation School and Maria Regina High
School. She then went on to Mercy College, where she received her
degree in Behavioral Psychology. Always wanting to help people, Ann
became a Social Worker for the County of Westchester and served on the
steering committee for the implementation of the Medicaid Program into
Westchester County. She also served as a Community Affairs Specialist
for the Westchester County Human Rights Commission and as an Employment
Specialist for the Yonkers Employment Center. In addition to her
professional work helping others, Ann has also been extremely active in
the community during her personal time. She serves as President of the
Exchange Club of Yonkers; Board Member of PAL; President of the
Crestwood Tenants Association; former Board Member of the Yonkers
Chamber of Commerce; former Board Member of the American Cancer
Society, and this is just a small fraction of her involvement. A
published writer, Ann is also in the process of writing two books and
is also an accomplished poet.
This year, the Yonkers Exchange Club is honoring Ann for all of her incredible work and contributions in the community. I want to congratulate her on this wonderful honor and thank her on behalf of the 16th Congressional District
