Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the 20th Anniversary of the Habitat for Humanity--Grand Traverse Region's ReStore located in Traverse City, Michigan. Established in 2003, the ReStore quickly grew to become an asset in the community and has helped many in Northern Michigan. I am certain that, given their extensive track record of offering a hand up to those in need, they will continue to create a positive ripple effect for the communities they serve.

Beginning as an offshoot of Habitat for Humanity, the ReStore has an illustrious history of community service and has been sustained by the numerous volunteers and staff that have provided key services over the last two decades. I commend all directly involved in making the ReStore a success, as well as a safe and reliable option for quality goods within any budget. Offering items ranging from household appliances to building materials, they allow for quick and easy solutions to their community's needs through their donated stock.

Celebrating 20 years in Traverse City, the ReStore held a fruitful event to highlight their achievement, connect with the community, and to relight the store with more efficient LED lighting. I would like to thank everyone involved for contributing to this event's success and I look forward to seeing greater progress for years to come.

Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the Habitat for Humanity-- Grand Traverse Region's Restore in Traverse City for 20 years of continued service to the community. On behalf of Michigan's First District, I wish the ReStore's volunteers and staff the best in their future endeavors.
