  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today, the 12th Congressional District honors 
The North, East, West, South (N.E.W.S.) Queens and Vice Queens of 
Michigan Council, chapter of the Red Hat Society. As the Red Hat 
Society and CEO Mrs. Debra Granich celebrate 27 wonderful years, we 
would like to recognize the inspirational fellowship, community, and 
work of all its members. We commend Mrs. Granich for bringing together 
women 50 and over for sisterhood and friendship.
  In 1998, the Red Hat Society was founded to encourage women to make 
the most of their lives. We honor their support for women in the 
pursuit of five goals: fun, friendship, freedom, fitness, and the 
fulfillment of lifelong dreams. The Red Hat Society is truly a unique 
international group for women, spreading joy to every woman involved. 
Through their work, Mrs. Granich and local chapters have been committed 
to supporting small, local, and growing businesses and empowering women 
business owners. The Red Hat Society's powerful stories have worked to 
reshape the view of women in today's culture.
  The 12th Congressional District extends our deepest gratitude to not 
only the Red Hat Society, but to Mrs. Granich and our region's 
chapters, ambassadors, and leaders. Our community is forever inspired 
by their work and advocacy for women. We wish them all prosperity, 
health, and happiness and thank them for their impact in changing many 
women's lives for the better.
