                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 19, 2013

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Barbara Scripps for her outstanding service to our community.
  In addition to running her own accounting firm in Evergreen for over 
twenty years, Barbara never hesitates to take the role of the leader on 
multiple non-profit boards, creating a trajectory to get things done. 
With her participation, community boards have undergone positive, 
significant financial changes and growth. As current president of the 
Evergreen Rotary Club she is helping to implement a fundraising 
strategy transition. She is a long-serving board member of both 
Evergreen Country Day School and Mt. Evans Hospice, and she saw the 
Center for Arts Evergreen through its creation of a visual arts center, 
and continues to serve on that board. The Colorado CPA Society 
recognized Barbara with an award as a ``CPA Making A Difference'', 
based on her strong support for her community.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Barbara Scripps for her well 
deserved honor by the West Chamber serving Jefferson County. I have no 
doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all her 
future accomplishments.
