                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 29, 2020

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ed Tomlinson 
for receiving the Arvada Chamber's Man of the Year Award.
  The recipient of the Chamber's Man of the Year award is selected by a 
committee and is awarded to a local community leader who has gone above 
and beyond to selflessly serve their community.
  As 2019 Man of the Year, Ed was selected to receive this award as 
recognition of his commitment and contribution to the Arvada community 
over the years. He was twice elected to the Arvada Fire Protection 
District, the first non-fireman to serve on that board. Friends and 
colleagues describe Ed as benevolent and community-centered.
  In addition, Ed has served on numerous local boards and committees, 
worked to support local schools, and volunteered his time, treasure and 
talent for many organizations such as the Arvada Festivals Commission, 
Adopt a Street and the Arvada Harvest Festival.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Ed Tomlinson for this well-
deserved award and appreciate his many contributions to our community.
