Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. MILLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the hard work of Patricia Price, who has devoted the past 42 years to Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Tri-State, an organization in Huntington, West Virginia, which provides volunteer mentors for children in adverse living situations.

Patti came to Big Brothers Big Sisters in 1978 fresh out of graduate school with a servant's heart. She started as a case worker, eventually rising to become the executive director. Throughout her career she committed herself to developing a consistent, encouraging, and safe environment for underprivileged children in our region.

Under her leadership, Patti organized hundreds of volunteers and staff, and created countless successful fundraising initiatives. Through these efforts, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Tri-State has grown to provide mentorship for over 160 children every year.

As she moves into the next phase of her life, Patti leaves behind a legacy of compassion, selflessness, and perseverance. Patti Price has changed the lives of thousands, and we are all so grateful for her work.
