  Mr. FLETCHER. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize the accomplishments of 
Mrs. Emma Tibbs from Lexington, Kentucky. She is currently serving her 
second year term as President of the Fayette County Neighborhood 
Council, an umbrella organization of neighborhood associations in the 
county.
  Mrs. Tibbs was awarded the Daily Points of Light Award for her 
initiative in taking this group and turning it into a positive 
community force. This award speaks very strongly about both her 
character and dedication.
  We are all proud that the recipient of such a prestigious award has 
come from the 6th district of Kentucky. Mrs. Tibbs's acts of generosity 
and community action have set a standard of excellence in service to 
which people of all ages should aspire.
  Congratulations to you Mrs. Tibbs and thank you for your commitment 
to community service.
