                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 13, 2011

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Jennifer Herrick for her service to the people of Colorado.
  Jennifer exudes the character of a caring citizen and passionate 
mother. She is a consistent foster mother to troubled, at-risk teens 
and rescue animals. As a foster mother, Jennifer cares for her foster 
children long after they have left her care, no matter where the 
children end up. As a rescue animal enthusiast, Jennifer is especially 
compassionate for larger breeds including Newfoundlands and Great 
Danes, and is a large contributor to Rocky Mountain animal rescue 
organizations.
  Jennifer owns a small consignment shop in Evergreen named CRAVE. She 
is known for being environmentally conscious and community-friendly by 
donating unwanted items from her store to EChO (Evergreen Christian 
Outreach).
  She is a large supporter of small businesses, by offering area 
retailers and organizations frequent discounts at her store. Jennifer 
also sends email notices to her customers asking that they shop locally 
and support their community.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Jennifer Herrick for her well 
deserved honor by the West Chamber serving Jefferson County. I have no 
doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all her 
future accomplishments.
