  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, the 12th Congressional District recognizes 
Arlene Byczek, a beloved resident of the Warrendale neighborhood in 
Detroit, for her decades of unwavering service to our community.
  Originally from New Jersey, Arlene moved to Michigan to earn her 
nursing degree from Henry Ford College and settled in Warrendale with 
her husband, Richard, in 1975. She dedicated nearly 20 years as a 
parish treasurer at Sacred Heart of Jesus and continued her community 
involvement at Ss. Peter and Paul parish, helping with school 
fundraisers, Scout Troop committee, and serving as a basketball coach.
  Arlene played a vital role in local organizing as a founding member 
of the WaSaTi Block Club and a longtime member of the Warrendale 
Business Association and Warrendale Community Organization. Most in the 
community know her as ``the Bike Lady,'' whose daily rides symbolize 
her deep love and constant care for her neighbors. Warrendale is better 
because of her.
  The 12th Congressional District celebrates Arlene Byczek for her 
service to the community and our district. We send Arlene Byczek and 
her family our best wishes.
