                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 10, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Harold and 
Lyla McCurdy for their service to the Congregate Meals Program of 
Panora, Iowa.
  Lyla got her start at Congregate Meals as a part-time kitchen worker 
and bookkeeper. She is now responsible for all of the bookkeeping, 
organization, and set up each day. Her husband Harold now volunteers 
his time by organizing the carryout meals and doing what he can to help 
in the kitchen. The Congregate Meal program was created around 40 years 
ago in Panora. They now prepare hot and healthy meals each day for the 
community.
  Mr. Speaker, Harold and Lyla's willingness to donate their time and 
talents to this program is a great testament to the Iowa spirit. I am 
honored to represent them and Iowans like them in the United States 
Congress. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Harold and Lyla for their 
service and wishing them nothing but continued success.
