                        Wednesday, March 3, 2010

  Mr. PAULSEN. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize Christi 
Minister of Eden Prairie. She received the national Catholic Charities 
USA ``Keep the Dream Alive'' award on Martin Luther King Day. Catholic 
Charities, which Christi had been a part of for more than 25 years, has 
worked to acknowledge those who give their time and energy to reducing 
poverty, supporting families and empowering communities. This award, 
created this year, honors those who have made community service an 
integral part of their lives. Christi believes focusing on education 
for all gives everyone an opportunity to experience the American dream. 
I would like to thank Christi Minister for her commitment to helping 
others, and for ``keeping the dream alive.''
