                           HON. CORY GARDNER

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 12, 2013

  Mr. GARDNER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Dave Owens, a 
Colorado businessman with a strong commitment to his community. As the 
owner of FASTSIGNS Greeley, Dave has built a business that has created 
jobs and provided economic value to Greeley and beyond. Small 
businesses throughout the area have come to rely on FASTSIGNS and the 
services it provides.
  In addition to growing and managing a successful business, Dave has 
invested both time and resources into the community.
  Dave and his company have sponsored countless events, charities, 
youth groups, and causes. His support has benefited the children of the 
Boys and Girls Club of Weld County, the survivors of domestic violence 
at A Woman's Place, and the countless many who depend on the services 
of the United Way. And when the men and women of the armed services 
return home from abroad, they often see a welcome home banner donated 
by Dave.
  On February 7, 2013, Dave was honored at the Greeley Chamber of 
Commerce Annual Dinner and Awards. He was recognized for his creativity 
and imagination as a business owner as well as his leadership and 
involvement in support of his community.
  I join the Greeley Chamber of Commerce in congratulating Dave Owens, 
and I wish him continued success in business and his many civic 
involvements.
