                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 7, 2017

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Chloe Bartine of 
Katy, TX, for earning her Girl Scout Gold Award.
  The Gold Award is the highest achievement a Girl Scout can earn. To 
earn this distinguished award, Chloe had to spend at least 80 hours 
developing and executing a project that would benefit the community as 
well as have a long-term impact on girls. For her Gold award project, 
Chloe designed and built two Little Free Libraries for Neighborhood 
Kidz Club in the Western Pines and Trinity Hunters Place communities in 
Katy, TX. She wanted to develop an easy, free way for children to have 
access to books during the summer or holiday breaks. Chloe hosted a 
book drive with over 25 volunteers to make sure the libraries were 
fully stocked. Chloe has volunteered for Neighborhood Kidz Club's 
summer reading program the past few summers. She will graduate from 
Seven Lakes High School and plans to attend the University of Alabama 
in the fall.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Chloe Bartine for earning her Girl Scout Gold 
Award. We are confident she will have continued success in her future 
endeavors. We are very proud.
