Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. VALADAO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Parviz Kamangar for his dedication and service to the Central Valley.

Mr. Kamangar was instrumental in the funding and development of the Boys and Girls Club in Huron, an organization which was absent from the community until the involvement of Mr. Kamangar and his associates.

Aside from being pivotal in the development of the Boys and Girls Club, Mr. Kamangar has also provided scholarships to local students for years. Since 2013, he has helped provide 147 different scholarships to students.

Mr. Kamangar has been vital in providing much needed assistance throughout the community. He was an intricate part of the development of a new Animal Control Shelter in the City of Huron.

Recently, Mr. Kamangar generously donated to the Huron Community Enhancement Foundation, a local nonprofit organization, to assist in keeping the foundation operational. Mr. Kamangar also donated to the Huron Police Officers assigned to U.S. COPS anti-crime outreach program to allow for interactions with Huron youth.

Whether it be through his dedication to community service or his philanthropy, Mr. Kamangar is a vital member of the community within the 21st congressional district.

Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the incredible work done by Mr. Parviz Kamangar.
