  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and applaud 
Kathleen Allen for her outstanding service to our community.
  Kathleen Allen is an incredible tri-athlete who has overcome a severe 
injury to again compete in her sport and win. Kathleen's work with 
Girls on the Run furthers women's issues by ``educating and preparing 
girls for a lifetime of self respect and healthy living.''
  The dedication demonstrated by Kathleen Allen directly benefits her 
community, and is exemplary of high personal and professional 
standards. Kathleen has spent countless hours volunteering with JeffCo 
Parents Focus on School Nutrition, a group which lobbies for improved 
school nutrition. In addition, Kathleen has volunteered abroad, 
spending time in Tanzania bringing technology to hospitals and schools 
in that country.
  I extend my deepest congratulations once again to Kathleen Allen for 
her recognition by the West Chamber of Jefferson County. I have no 
doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all her 
future accomplishments.
