  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Mary Jo Giddings for receiving the Arvada Chamber of Commerce Pioneer 
Award.
   Mary Jo is a former Woman of the Year Award recipient and has had a 
positive impact on the Arvada community for nearly 50 years. She is 
well-deserving of this award as she has served as a leader in Arvada 
for many years and has contributed in many unprecedented ways.
   The leadership demonstrated by Mary Jo is exemplary of the type of 
positive impact that can be made on the Arvada community with hard work 
and dedication. She has volunteered at the Arvada Center since it 
opened in 1976 and sits on the Board of Directors for the Arvada 
Historical Society and the Arvada Vitality Alliance as well as 
organizes Arvada Garden Tours.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Mary Jo Giddings for this 
well-deserved recognition by the Arvada Chamber of Commerce and 
appreciate his ongoing contributions to our community.
