                         Friday, April 12, 2013

  Mr. DUFFY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Doug Gold, this 
year's Big Brother of the Year for the Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters 
of Los Angeles.
   Doug's dedication to a life of community service and volunteerism 
has touched many organizations and nurtured many children over the 
years. His selfless efforts should act as role model for citizens all 
over the country.
   By balancing work and family obligations while continuing to give 
back to his community, Doug has demonstrated the altruistic virtues 
this country was built upon. Over the years, Doug has not only coached 
local soccer teams and attended ballet recitals, but he also has been 
active with the March of Dimes organization and with Kiwanis 
International.
   In January of this year, his most recent volunteer efforts were 
honored by the Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles. The one 
on one mentoring organization for Jewish children recognized him with 
the Big Brother of the Year Award.
   I stand here to offer my congratulations to Doug as his unselfish 
efforts should be celebrated and commended. Great job Doug.
