                    RECOGNIZING MS. REASTHER EVERETT

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Ms. Reasther 
Everett, a long-time resident of Westland in Michigan's 13th 
Congressional District, as we mourn her passing.
  Ms. Everett was best known in the community for her volunteer work. 
As coordinator for the Wayne County Retired Senior Volunteer Program, 
she recruited, trained, and assigned volunteers. She also served as 
family service advocate for Wayne County Family Center facilitating and 
expediting adaptation to independent living arrangements for residents 
and aided with placement in healthcare services.
  Ms. Everett spearheaded the ``no family without Christmas program,'' 
collecting donations for the homeless during the winter holiday season. 
Throughout her work with the Southeast Westland Homeowners Association, 
Ms. Everett founded the SWHA Community Center where, for many years, 
she operated an after-school program for young people.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing the many contributions 
of Ms. Reasther Everett to Westland, Wayne County, and Thirteenth 
District Strong, as we honor her memory.
