                       Monday, September 26, 2016

  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Felix and Laura 
Castillo on their grand opening of Felix's Famous Cookies manufacturing 
facility in Mundelein. As a small business owner myself, I understand 
the need to always grow and find ways to expand. Laura and Felix did 
just that.
  This family-owned company was founded by six year old Felix Castillo, 
who shared his mother's passion for baking. It was not until the 
passing of Grandmother Toni that Felix and Laura were inspired to turn 
their passion and inspiration into a business.
  Felix's Famous Cookies goes beyond maintaining a brand and generating 
profit. Laura and Felix follow an important family tradition by giving 
proceeds back to non-profit organizations and to the less fortunate in 
our local community.
  Mr. Speaker, I am incredibly proud to represent Laura and Felix 
Castillo in the United States Congress. I look forward to working with 
them as they continue to succeed in their business endeavors and 
positively impact our community.
