                       Monday, November 16, 2009

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Adele O'Toole for her outstanding service to our community.
  Adele O'Toole has lived in Jefferson County Colorado for 20 years, 
and during that time has been very active in PTA, co-founded a local 
book club, served as a Cub Scout den mother, Girl Scout leader, and a 
frequent volunteer at her children's school events. She sponsored a 
team for the Relay for Life event in Wheat Ridge, and frequently 
participates in Race for the Cure.
  The dedication demonstrated by Adele O'Toole directly benefits her 
community. Not only does she run a multimillion dollar business, 
O'Tooles Garden Centers but finds time to serve her community. In her 
service to the area homeless Adele O'Toole frequently organized 
Thanksgiving and Easter Basket drives for the homeless and regularly 
prepares meals for families who stay at the JeffCo Action Center's 
shelter.
  I extend my deepest congratulations once again to Adele O'Toole for 
her recognition by the West Chamber of Jefferson County. I have no 
doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all her 
future accomplishments.
