HONORING ROSAURA SEGURA-LOPEZ
______
HON. MIKE THOMPSON
of california
in the house of representatives
Friday, October 27, 2000
Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize Rosaura
Segura-Lopez, the recipient of the Napa County Hispanic Network
Lifetime Achievement Award. Ms. Segura-Lopez is an outstanding member
of the community and has worked tirelessly to improve the conditions of
low-income housing and public education for migrant farmworkers.
Recognizing a great need, Rosaura Segura-Lopez established the
Immigration Services Office in St. Helena with a credit card in March,
1989. Since then, she has served as a board member of the St. Helena
Public School Foundation from 1990 to 1993 and has worked on the County
of Napa Grand Jury for the Fiscal Year 1991-1992. Also, since 1994, she
has been a member of the Boys & Girls Club Board of Directors. In
addition, Ms. Segura-Lopez acts as Vice-President and Sponsor for
``Club Los Haro'' which raises funds for her birthplace, Los Haro in
Zacatecas, Mexico.
As a child, Rosaura vividly remembers how tired her father, a
farmworker, was when he arrived home in the evenings. This prompted her
to become involved with the Migrant Farmworker Committee and she has
served as its Chairperson since 1994. She has been selected to serve on
the Napa County Housing Committee, which has the task of gathering data
and making recommendations regarding the update of the County's Housing
Element and has been named Vice-Chair of the newly formed Napa County
Farmworker Housing Oversight Committee.
In April 1999, Rosaura Segura-Lopez was honored with an award from
the California Human Development in recognition of Community Business
for Excellent Service Provided to the Community.
Mr. Speaker, it is appropriate at this time that we recognize Ms.
Rosaura Segura-Lopez for her dedication and commitment to worthwhile
causes, as she is an inspiration to everyone. For these reasons, it is
necessary that we honor this woman for her continuing distinguished
service to the people of Saint Helena and all of Napa County,
California.
The California State Bar doesn't have a listing for either Rosa or Rosaura Segura. They also have nothing for Rosa or Rosaura Segura-Lopez, nor anything for Rosa or Rosaura Lopez.
So, other than being a professional apologist for illegal aliens, it makes me wonder just what type of services she provides for her clients.
