                        Tuesday, October 5, 2021

  Mrs. McCLAIN. Madam Speaker, I am proud to represent a district that 
has a large number of Italian Americans, and it is a great honor for me 
to recognize one of their finest, Sam Previti, on being named the ``Man 
of the Year'' by the Michigan Columbus Day Celebration Committee.
  Sam has been a pillar of both the Washington Township and Italian 
American community. In Washington Township, Sam currently serves as the 
Township Supervisor. Some of his other public service commitments 
include being a Washington Township Trustee and serving as secretary of 
Washington Township's Zoning Board of Appeals.
  Sam also has great pride in his Italian heritage and works diligently 
on behalf of this community. He helps run the largest Italian American 
Club, Lodge Figli Della Sicilia, and is actively involved in many 
charity-based organizations such as the History Holy Family in Detroit. 
He has also served as the National President of the Columbian 
Federation of Italian American Societies. Regional leaders in the 
Italian American community know Sam is the person to call on when they 
need assistance in organizing, promoting, and supporting their many 
events.
  Madam Speaker, I can think of no one more deserving of this honor 
than Sam Previti. It is my hope that he finds pride upon reflection of 
his tireless commitment to both his communities. Sam's hard work is 
noticed and appreciated. I wish him many more years of dedicated and 
selfless service.
