  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Marybeth 
Shea as she is named the 2018 Citizen of the Year by the Norwell 
Chamber of Commerce.
  Marybeth is a pillar of the community, serving on seventeen boards 
and committees and being a staple in town politics and events. For 
thirty years, she has put the people of Norwell first, always trying to 
figure out how to better her community.
  After first moving to Norwell, Marybeth immediately become involved 
in the Parent-Teacher Organization. Marybeth has stepped up at every 
point to improve our school and our community.
  Marybeth spent eight years as president of the Norwell High School 
Boosters Committee, where she planned fundraisers and headed countless 
initiatives, including the creation of the Norwell High School Athletic 
Hall of Fame. She made every opportunity to advocate for the students 
of Norwell and worked to ensure their incredible athletic 
accomplishments would long be remembered.
  Outside of school, Marybeth has become a familiar face in local 
politics and does not miss an opportunity to advocate and inform others 
about issues that have a direct impact on the town of Norwell.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor Marybeth Shea for her dedication to 
her community. I ask that my colleagues join me in thanking her for her 
work and wishing her all the best as she continues her efforts.
