                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 25, 2015

  Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Gonzalo Arroyo for 
his nearly two decades of commitment to helping low-income and 
immigrant families in Aurora, Illinois, through his leadership of 
Family Focus Aurora.
  Gonzalo began working at Family Focus' Aurora Center in 1996, and has 
served as the director of the facility since 1998. During that time, he 
has helped countless families and individuals through the 
organization's many programs, from counseling new parents to computer 
classes aimed at improving work skills. Under Gonzalo's direction, 
Family Focus also has become a leader in providing guidance for recent 
immigrants looking to start a new chapter of their lives in Illinois.
  I would like to congratulate Gonzalo for his hard work and his 
commitment to Family Focus Aurora and the people of our community. 
Although Gonzalo's leadership will be missed, I have no doubt that the 
work he has done and the lessons he has passed on will continue to 
serve and inspire the people of Aurora for many years to come.
