Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, let me recognize the outstanding work of the Rye Senior Advocacy Committee, a group appointed by the mayor of Rye, consisting of committed volunteers working to advocate for the needs of seniors in the community and bringing together business, nonprofit, and government resources in common causes.

Led by Nancy Haneman and Michele Thomas, the committee members have championed projects to provide emergency supplies to seniors, hosting a biannual Senior Summit to be held this year on October 1 and addressing education on healthcare, transportation options, and so much more. Barbara Brunner, a committee member, has labored mightily to achieve grants to advance these priorities. Organizations like the Rye YMCA, the Rye Fire Department, and SPRYE are welcomed partners.

From the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, I salute the Rye Senior Advocacy Committee and look forward to assisting their efforts in the days to come.
