  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
the Honorable Elbra Wedgeworth for receiving the Community Impact Award 
from Metro Volunteers.
  As an East Denver native, Elbra Wedgeworth has been a leader in 
Denver City Government for the past twenty-six years. In addition to 
her government service, some of her volunteer activities include Host 
Committee Member of the 2022 Denver Winter Olympics, 2011 Denver Region 
Sustainable Communities Executive Committee and founder of the African 
American Cultural Consortium and several other Boards and Councils.
  The Honorable Elbra Wedgeworth is a highly admired individual who 
deserves recognition from the community for her leadership and the 
example she sets for others through her selfless service to those in 
need.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to my friend the Honorable Elbra 
Wedgeworth for this well deserved recognition by Metro Volunteers. 
Thank you for making our community a better place for all of us.
