                         TYLER MARTINEZ TRIBUTE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. SCOTT R. TIPTON

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 17, 2011

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Tyler Martinez of 
Alamosa, Colorado. Mr. Martinez earned the Youth of the Year award at 
the Boys and Girls Club of the San Luis Valley for the second year in a 
row.
  It is rare to find a youth like Mr. Martinez who is so involved in 
helping less fortunate kids. The Alamosa High Junior lends his effort 
and time to the Boys and Girls Club, though. The fact that he was 
selected for the honor two consecutive years is a testament to his 
dedication. As a student and player on the Alamosa High basketball 
team, it is even more impressive that Mr. Martinez finds so much time 
to volunteer.
  Mr. Martinez will once again enter the statewide competition for 
Colorado Youth of the Year. He joins many deserving honorees across the 
state and will certainly be a serious contender. Mr. Speaker, it is an 
honor to recognize Tyler Martinez, today, and I have no doubt this 
young man will continue to be a leader in his community.
