                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, February 8, 2007

  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Kathleen Dye, the 
executive director of the Southern Nevada Chapter of HomeAid. She leads 
an organization which tirelessly works to better the lives of all 
Nevadans.
  HomeAid is a non-profit organization that seeks to construct and 
renovate shelters for temporarily homeless families and individuals. In 
addition, every HomeAid project includes support services that help 
residents move toward self sufficiency, such as educational and job 
training, as well as physical and emotional support.
  It is with this mission in mind that Kathleen is leading HomeAid's 
efforts to help renovate the St. Jude's Ranch for Children's Boulder 
City campus. HomeAid has undertaken this effort along with a team of 
more than 100 volunteer subcontractors since early January.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Kathleen Dye. Her work with 
HomeAid and efforts on behalf on Southern Nevada's homeless is truly 
commendable. Her enthusiastic and dedicated approach has helped and 
inspired numerous Nevadans to better their lives. Kathleen Dye and the 
volunteers and staff of the Southern Nevada Chapter of HomeAid have 
made a profound difference in our community and we are most fortunate 
to have such a civic minded organization in Southern Nevada. I applaud 
her efforts and wish her the best in her future endeavors.
