CELEBRATING LAKE COMO
(Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Fort Worth's own
Lake Como community for winning the celebrated Neighborhood of the Year
award.
This is a neighborhood that I know well because this is the
neighborhood that my family was raised in.
This recognition is given out by the nonprofit Neighborhoods USA, an
organization that awards neighborhoods and communities that love where
they live.
The Lake Como community is an amazing community that has been a part
of Fort Worth for decades and decades now, a community with attorneys,
with retired teachers, with servicepeople, a variety of different
professions that really make this west Fort Worth community amazing.
We do an annual Fourth of July parade that is attended by thousands.
Sometimes, you would be sitting on your porch, like I would sit on my
grandmother's porch, and somebody may come by on horseback in the
middle of one of the Nation's largest cities. That is the type of
community it is.
It is a community with dozens of churches and other civic
organizations that make them worthy of this award.
Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Lake Como on getting this award because
it is well deserved.
