SANTA BARBARA, Calif. A Goleta woman was honored as California s 24th District Woman of the Year on Friday afternoon in Santa Barbara.
During the ceremony, Congressman Salud Carbajal presented Sylvia Uribe with the award at the Santa Barbara Courthouse.
She was honored with a commemorative pin and a framed copy of a written tribute in front of her family and friends. It was a complete surprise when I got a call from Mr. Carbajal telling me that I got the Congressional Woman of the Year Award. I didn’t really know what to respond, except for thanking him for the great honor that this is, said Uribe.
