                        HONORING WOMEN OF TOLEDO

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Women of Toledo. This 
remarkably dynamic organization is celebrating 10 productive years of 
advancing good works, opportunity, sorority, and leadership in 
northwestern Ohio.
  What began as a simple focus group has grown into a vibrant hub, 
connecting thousands of women and girls to mentorship, education, and 
resources to build lives forward.
  Through initiatives like HerHub, which champions women-owned 
businesses, and Girl's Hub, which inspires our next generation of 
leaders in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, 
Women of Toledo is shaping the future of our community. Bravo.
  Their story is a testament to the power of vision and persistence 
with good people and good women. From coffee shop conversations to 
packed ballrooms, they have built a movement rooted in ``e pluribus 
unum''; ``out of many, one.'' Women of various heritages are working 
together for community betterment.
  Women of Toledo forges partnerships with business, not-for-profits, 
and neighborhoods who believe that when women rise, our entire 
community rises. Congratulations, Women of Toledo.
