                         Friday, July 10, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Paula Bell of Des Moines, Iowa, for receiving the 2014 Wells Fargo 
Volunteer of the Year Award for the Central Iowa Region.
  Wells Fargo has been able to create an environment that fully 
embraces workplace giving. Last year, they set a company record by 
pledging $97.7 million to 30,000 nonprofits and schools. Wells Fargo 
has donated 6.4 million hours of service since 2011 and steps up in 
times of need, helping both domestically and abroad.
  Paula Bell was granted this prestigious award, as well as $1000 to 
donate to a nonprofit organization of her choosing, for volunteering 
200 of the 111,415 total hours that Wells Fargo team members in the 
Central Iowa Region logged in 2014. Paula's hard work and dedication to 
serving others truly embodies our Iowa values.
  I applaud her for her commitment to giving back to the community and 
service to others. I know my colleagues in the House will join me in 
congratulating her for receiving this award. I wish her and her family 
all the best moving forward.
