RECOGNIZING SOFIA GUANA
HON. DEAN HELLER
OF NEVADA
IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE
August 1, 2012
Mr. HELLER: Mr. President, I rise today in celebration of one of Nevada’s own, Sofia Guana, on her 100th birthday. Her dedication to community service is commendable and I am proud that she calls Nevada home.
After Sofia came to Carson City just more than 20 years ago, she dedicated her time to investing in the Silver State. Whether it was through working for the University of Nevada’s Cooperative Extension or volunteering for the local senior citizen’s center, Sofia’s commitment to the betterment of her state and community is commendable. She serves as an example to us all, and I hope that many more will follow in her footsteps.
Sofia’s dedication to the betterment of others does not stop with her local community of Carson. A devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, she is the lifeblood of her family.
Mr. President, I am proud to call Sofia one of Nevada’s own and wish her a very happy 100th birthday. On behalf of the state and the residents of Carson City, I thank her for her service and wish her all the best.
