                        TRIBUTE TO STEVEN FIORE

 Ms. HASSAN. Mr. President, I am honored to recognize Steven 
Fiore of Atkinson as October's Granite Stater of the Month. This 
Halloween, 17-year-old Steven set up an elaborate haunted house to 
raise money for the Alzheimer's Association in honor of his late 
grandmother.
  A Halloween enthusiast from a young age, Steven has collected various 
Halloween props, from fog machines to animated creatures, over the 
years. His grandmother, who he was close with, was one of the main 
contributors to the collection and would gift him props for Christmas.
  After Steven's grandmother passed away from Alzheimer's in 2021, he 
decided to honor her memory by bringing his passion project to life. 
Utilizing his props and decorations, Steven set up a hair-raising 
haunted house for the weekends of October 21 and 28, with proceeds 
going to the Alzheimer's Association.
  I especially admire Steven's creativity and drive in setting up a 
haunted house that has also brought together the Atkinson community and 
am glad that more guests will experience the thrills of the haunted 
house. By taking a difficult situation--experiencing the loss of his 
grandmother--and turning it into a positive force for helping others, 
by raising money for the Alzheimer's Association, Steven exemplifies 
the Granite State spirit, and I am proud to recognize his 
efforts.
