                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 14, 2024

  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
unique contributions of one of my constituents, Barry Meindl, who 
serves as a volunteer Board Member for the local non-profit, 
Brooksville Main Street. These outstanding volunteers put in hundreds 
of hours while running their businesses and organizations. They have 
all come together for a common cause- to serve the community by 
bringing much-loved events to downtown Brooksville. Each of these board 
members have servant hearts, and their dedication and commitment to our 
community is impressive. Barry is always the first one to arrive and 
the last to leave. He has the most amazing heart and compassion for 
this community. He astounds me with his boundless energy. Part of what 
makes our country so great is the willingness of ordinary Americans to 
go above and beyond to selflessly give back to others. Volunteerism is 
one of the cornerstones of our society and part of the fabric that 
unites us.
  It is clear that Mr. Meindl and his fellow board members have made a 
profoundly positive impact on our community, and I am grateful for his 
service.
