                        RECOGNIZING TED POULIOT

  (Ms. OMAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ted Pouliot for a 
lifetime of service supporting our Minneapolis community.
  As a senior at DeLaSalle High School in Minneapolis in 1952, Ted 
first started volunteering at House of Charity's dining hall to help 
feed Minnesotans going hungry. This was just the start of his decades 
of service.
  Later in life, Ted founded the Minneapolis affordable housing 
nonprofit, Project for Pride in Living, helping folks find stable 
housing.
  Now, at 91, Ted paints to raise funds for nonprofits throughout 
Minneapolis. This past weekend, he raised $12,000 at his art sale to 
benefit nonprofits working to end homelessness and address hunger for 
Agate Housing and Services, Groveland Emergency Food Shelf, and 
Sabathani Food Shelf.
  Ted truly embodies what it means to live a life of service. It is 
truly an honor to recognize him here today.
