  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Gallery on The Go, Inc. for receiving the 2018 Commerce City 
Entrepreneurial Spirit Award.
  The Entrepreneurial Spirit Award recognizes a company or entrepreneur 
that demonstrates a pioneering spirit and development of a business 
start-up, new product development, or a company/product with growth in 
new markets. In October 2011, Maria Borrego, a Commerce City resident 
and Adams City High School graduate, co-founded the mobile painting 
planning party, Gallery on The Go. She was joined by Mandy Thomas in 
2014 and today are a staff of four full-time and two part time 
employees. They have now expanded to over 160 Independent Gallery 
Guides in 30 states, serving over 35,000 painters in 2017.
  In addition to expanding across the country, Gallery on The Go is 
also committed to giving

back to the community. They have given over $105,000 in donations, 
fundraising painting parties, and free events to benefit a variety of 
non-profits within the Commerce City community.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Gallery On The Go, Inc. for 
this well-deserved recognition by Commerce City.
