                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 21, 2012

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and applaud 
my friend and talented singer Judy Denison for receiving the Living 
Landmark Award.
  The Living Landmark Award is presented by the Golden Landmarks 
Association, a nonprofit organization whose focus is to preserve 
historic places and educate people about the wonderful history the City 
of Golden has to offer.
  Judy Denison relocated to Golden in 1988 because she loves the 
peaceful nature of Golden and the small town feel. She was the co-
founder of Save the Mesas and an organizer for the Mesa Music Festival. 
Judy's involvement in Citizens Involved in Northwest Quadrant (CINQ) 
lead to the establishment of the Golden Newsletter, which reaches out 
to nearly 1,000 Golden citizens each week. The newsletter discusses 
environmental and cultural news and its mission is to preserve the 
clean mountain air and the ambiance of Golden.
  Judy's accomplishments are many. After a medical mission to Belize, 
Judy set up the Belize Education Project to send teachers to Belize and 
provide books and scholarships to underprivileged students. She is a 
member of the Golden Rotary Club and meets with teenage girls in the 
community to discuss life and ethics. Furthering her youth outreach, 
Judy organized the Golden Community Choirs, which is now in its twelfth 
season.
  Judy Denison is a true ``Golden'' citizen in every sense of the word. 
She has been a champion in the community and I am honored to 
congratulate her on this well deserved recognition by the Golden 
Landmarks Association. Thank you for making our community a proud place 
for all Coloradans.
