  Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Leanne Dickson of 
San Gabriel, California. Each year in March, in recognition of Women's 
History Month, we pay special tribute to the accomplishments made by 
our Nation's most distinguished women.
  Leanne Dickson has been a resident of San Gabriel for over thirty-
five years. She is the widow of James Dickson, owner of Dickson Motor 
Service, Towing Service, & Auto Repair. Leanne has two adult children, 
Wendy Dickson Holten and Greg Dickson.
  Leanne's involvement in San Gabriel has been varied. She has been the 
Vice President and Box Office manager for the San Gabriel Valley Music 
Theatre since 2005. At the same time, she has served as treasurer of 
the San Gabriel Rotary for the last three years. For the San Gabriel 
Chamber of Commerce, she volunteers her time two days a week and has 
served as board member and treasurer for three years. In 2008, the 
chamber honored her as Women's Division Woman of the Year.
  Leanne is continually doing for others in the community. It seems as 
though she attends every city function and every community activity, 
helping out where needed. She has volunteered on the Parent-Teacher 
Association for twelve years, has been a Neighborhood Watch Block 
Captain for four years, and was a Girl Scout leader for seven years. In 
2008, she donated her time volunteering for the Church of Our Savior's 
AIDS luncheon. Leanne has actively supported La Casa Community Center 
and the San Gabriel Valley YMCA with their events.
  Leanne was the Vice President at Pasadena Federal Credit Union 
twenty-three years, and she is currently employed part time at the 
Gazebo boutique in San Gabriel.
  I.ask all Members of Congress to join me today in honoring a 
remarkable woman of California's 29th Congressional District, Leanne 
Dickson. The entire community joins me in thanking Leanne for the 
meaningful impact she has had on the 29th Congressional District.
