                AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY'S DISCOVERY SHOP

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, in the Ninth District of Ohio, the 
American Cancer Society Discovery Shop in Sylvania, Ohio, in Lucas 
County, won the Denise Noel Award for bringing in the most sales out of 
any location in our entire country.
  The award is presented by the American Cancer Society to a person or 
group that has made significant contributions to the Discovery program. 
The Discovery Shop, which is a volunteer-run thrift store, sells 
donated clothes, household goods, antiques, collectibles, jewelry, 
artwork, and small furniture.
  Purchases at these fine establishments help the American Cancer 
Society fund advocacy research and patient support programs to improve 
the lives of cancer patients and their families.
  Anita Schuller, the manager of the Sylvania location, attributes the 
store's success to the involvement of the community and the dedication 
of its volunteers. Volunteers at the store credit Ms. Schuller's 
leadership and her ability to create and maintain a positive atmosphere 
for the award.
  In this home away from home for many, there is not one person that 
does not go above and beyond for their Sylvania and our broader 
community.
  Madam Speaker, congratulations to Ms. Schuller and the entire team.
