                      Thursday, November 29, 2012

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Ms. Tracy Evanko, for her service to the community and receiving the 
2012 Mayor of Golden's Award for Excellence.
  Tracy was a founding member of the Golden Resource for Education, 
Arts, and Theater (GREAT). This organization was responsible for the 
very successful nights of movies and music in the park of Golden, 
Colorado. GREAT's mission to enhance, promote, and enrich the culture 
of the community of Golden has lead to great expansions in the 
cinematic and performing arts.
  Along with GREAT, Tracy was essential in paving the way for the city 
of Golden in purchasing the 14-acre Bachman parcel at West 4th Avenue 
and Heritage Road to be used for open space in December of 2010. Her 
commitment to the environment and culture of Golden offers as a model 
for others in the community.
  I am honored to congratulate Tracy Evanko on receiving the 2012 Mayor 
of Golden's Award for Excellence. I am sure she will exhibit the same 
dedication and commitment in all her future endeavors.
