                       Friday, February 16, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Mycale Downey of Creston, Iowa for being named Creston 
Citizen of the Year for 2017.
  Ms. Downey has served as Creston Animal Rescue Effort's lead 
volunteer since the organization was founded in 1998. She and the other 
volunteers in the group serve the community by caring for animals at 
the city pound. They also coordinate veterinary care and work 
diligently to find new homes for each of the animals.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to represent community leaders like Mycale 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize her today. I ask that my colleagues in the United States 
House of Representatives join me in congratulating Mycale for this 
outstanding recognition and in wishing her nothing but continued 
success.
