  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Loretta DiTirro for receiving the 2013 Wheat Ridge City Council 
Partnership Award.
  This award recognizes a company or individual for their overall 
contributions to the City. It incorporates business achievements as 
well as contributions in volunteerism, leadership, and community 
investment and involvement.
  Loretta DiTirro has been an active part of Wheat Ridge for many 
years. She currently is the President of the Wheat Ridge Business 
Association where she guides the mission of the organization and is the 
leading force behind its success. She is also a member of the Wheat 
Ridge Business District and sits on the Board of Directors, assisting 
businesses through a grant and loan program.
  Additionally, Loretta DiTirro is a key figure in the Wheat Ridge 
Foundations ``Feed the Future'' program providing books, backpacks, 
food and assistance to the less fortunate children of Wheat Ridge. She 
can be seen volunteering at almost every event in Wheat Ridge and truly 
is a beacon of goodwill for the community.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Loretta DiTirro for this well 
deserved recognition by the City of Wheat Ridge and the Wheat Ridge 
Business Association. Thank you for your dedication to our community.
