                       FORT BEND COUNTY ROCKS ON

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, COVID-19 hit Fort Bend County hard in March. 
Our local concert venue, the Smart Financial Centre, has not rocked 
since, yet Fort Bend County has rocked on.
  The Fort Bend Hope Clubhouse kept rocking--proof: ROCKS I received 
from the director, Kerry Beth Cottingham. We met Monday back home. She 
gave me these two rocks with a common message, #clubhouserocksTexas.
  They rock because they are giving people with mental conditions the 
skills they need to build confidence and independence. Members choose 
every day where they want to work: work in the kitchen, go to class, 
clerical work, technical work, or just outreach about the magic 
happening at the clubhouse.
  Keep rocking, Fort Bend Hope Clubhouse. Let's rock into Mental Health 
Awareness Week that starts next week.
  Mahalo.
