  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
unique contributions of one of my constituents, Amanda Rud 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. 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 Ms. Rud and her fellow board members have made a 
profoundly positive impact on our community, and I am grateful for her 
service.
