                      Thursday, December 19, 2013

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Ann Demers for her outstanding service to our community.
  As a Special Needs teacher in Jefferson County Ann always gave above 
and beyond. Eventually becoming a school psychologist, she led training 
for the Second Step Curriculum and was a member of the Crisis Response 
Team during the Columbine High School tragedy. Ann is involved in her 
neighborhood, church, and family, organizing community events and 
service activities. She created a church community service group known 
as the Red Tent Ladies, and once she started on the Ralston House Board 
they saw exponential growth. Her spirit and dedication are truly 
inspiring.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Ann Demers 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.
