                        RECOGNIZING AMY TRUJILLO

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BRITTANY PETTERSEN

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 23, 2024

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Amy Trujillo for 
receiving Denver7's ``Everyday Hero'' award in recognition of her 
service to the Wheat Ridge community.
  Amy has been volunteering for the Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation's 
50+ Trip & Outdoor Recreation (Ramblers) Program since 2021. This was a 
critical time for Wheat Ridge Parks and Rec, as they were rebuilding 
and restarting programs shuttered during the pandemic. During a time of 
staff shortages, Amy led volunteer trips to hiking destinations, 
concerts, hot springs, and much more from as far south as Pueblo and as 
far north as Cheyenne, Wyoming. Without the help of volunteers like 
Amy, the Ramblers Program could have been canceled and the trips and 
experiences they offer our seniors would not have been possible.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, 
it is my honor to congratulate Amy Trujillo for her extraordinary civic 
service and thank her for her dedication to our community.
