  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Fort Bend 
County women honored by the Suburban Sugar Land Women (SSLW) for 
Women's History Month 2018.
  The National Women's History Project celebrates the diverse and 
historic accomplishments of women. Every year, SSLW recognizes women 
who have made a positive impact upon our community. There are six women 
from Fort Bend County who received this honor--Evelyn Peters Dean, 
president of the Suburban Houston Fort Bend Alumnae Chapter of Delta 
Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Ammie Blahuta, president of Gigi's 
Playhouse Down Syndrome Achievement Centers, Tran Pham Rich, president 
of Cookie Joe's Dancin' School, Sugar Land, Manuela Arroyos, CEO of 
Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels, Cynthia Ginyard, a passionate 
retired educator and public servant and Lupe Uresti, former mayor of 
Rosenberg and current Rosenberg Housing Authority director and 
treasurer for the board of directors of the Fort Bend Hispanic Heritage 
Forum. Each of these women contributes to the strength and vibrancy of 
our community and we thank them.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to the Suburban Sugar Land Women honorees. Thank 
you for all you do for our community.
