  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Marian Metsopoulos for her outstanding commitment to our community.
  Marian is dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of 
Lakewood and Jefferson County. As a dedicated historian, Marian looks 
to the future and the generations impacted by her efforts to save the 
past.
  Her passion extends to the arts as well, where she served as 
coordinator of the Foothills Arts Center for twenty four years. Marian 
was a pioneer in making the Foothills Arts Center a known name in the 
community. Her collaboration with local artists and business put the 
center on the map.
  Marian's many accomplishments include support for heritage education, 
restoration projects for Lakewood's Heritage Center and the Buffalo 
Bill Museum and grave.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Marian Metsopoulos for her 
well deserved honor by the West Chamber serving Jefferson County. I 
have no doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all 
her future accomplishments.
