BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding contributions that Carol Brisbois has made through her work with Metropolitan Ministries. Carol has been a dedicated volunteer at Metropolitan Ministries since 2016. Monday and Friday mornings at the Metro Welcome Center are lively and welcoming, thanks to this remarkable woman. She greets both new and returning volunteers with enthusiasm, ensuring newcomers feel comfortable and understand the importance of their roles. Her humor, empathy, and dedication ensure smooth operations across all areas, from kitchen prep to client shopping in the metro market. She welcomes everyone--volunteers, clients, residents, and community members--with warmth, compassion, and genuine joy in service. Carol is always ready to tackle any task that needs attention. Metropolitan Ministries relies heavily on her to keep Volunteer Services running smoothly, not just during the holidays but all year round. She embodies the four key values of Metro's culture, including: Character, Chemistry, Competency, and Calling.

It is clear Carol Brisbois has made a profoundly positive impact on our community, and I am grateful for strive to serve our communities with the same dedication and humility.
