                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 17, 2016

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
the Golden High School Interact Club for receiving the Golden Mayor's 
Award for Excellence.
   The Golden High School Interact Club is a Rotary-sponsored service 
organization serving the greater Golden community. The 72 high-school 
members tackle important community issues through hands-on service 
projects. Locally, they participated in the Neighborhood Rehab Project 
Day of Service, helped raise money for schools by volunteering at fun-
runs, assisted Golden Rotary to provide lunch and fellowship to senior 
residents, raked leaves for Golden residents, championed a food drive, 
and participated in a chili cook-off.
   For an international effort, they held a carwash that generated 
$2,000 to purchase two ShelterBoxes, which provide safe housing to 
families in disaster situations around the world. Out of 36 other 
clubs, the Rotary District identified the Golden group as the most 
outstanding Interact Club.
   I congratulate the Golden High School Interact Club for being the 
recipient of this well-
deserved honor by Mayor Marjorie Sloan, and I thank all the members for 
their continued commitment to the people and families they serve.
