                         RECOGNIZING KATHY ARO

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Kathy Aro for her 
17 years of service to the families of southeastern Michigan through 
her work at the Accounting Aid Society. Kathy has led the Accounting 
Aid Society in fulfilling its mission to help put the residents of 
southeast Michigan on the pathway to financial stability.
  Her leadership has been a catalyst for massive growth of Accounting 
Aid Society's free income tax assistance program, which puts hard-
earned dollars back into the pockets of many of our vulnerable 
families.
  Under Kathy's leadership, Accounting Aid Society has expanded its 
programming to include Accounting Aid Academy, which provides basic 
small business guidance and financial coaching.
  In short, Kathy has been an outstanding community leader, cultivating 
Accounting Aid Society into a trusted community partner.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing Kathy's outstanding 
contributions to the communities of Michigan's 13th Congressional 
District as we wish her well in her retirement.
