  Mr. SHAYS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of Person-To-Person, 
an organization dedicated to supporting people in Fairfield County.
  For 40 years, this important organization has made profound 
contributions to our society by offering individuals assistance through 
their many programs designed to help improve lives. Person-to-Person 
has reached out teaching independent living skills to individuals who 
may be facing homelessness, severe financial challenges and through 
helping citizens cope with these problems.
  Person-to-Person is a pillar of strength because of their commitment 
to help people put their lives back together facing severe challenges. 
I am grateful for the members of this important organization who have 
helped to make Fairfield County a better place to live and work.
