                       Tuesday, October 30, 2018

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
the Lunch and Life Program for receiving the Golden Mayor's Award for 
Excellence.
  From its humble beginnings of about six students in 2000, the Lunch 
and Life Program has grown to become one of the primary connections 
between Mines students, Calvary Episcopal Church, and the Golden 
community. During the fall and spring semesters, several hundred 
students and members of the Golden community from different countries 
and walks of life, come together to enjoy a homemade meal and great 
hospitality. To date, more than 26,000 meals have been served to 
students, thanks to the ongoing contributions of about 20 hardworking 
volunteers in the community.
  I congratulate the Lunch and Life Program for receiving this well-
deserved honor by Mayor Marjorie Sloan. I thank them for their 
contributions to our community.
