  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize Kathy Nickel 
on the occasion of her recognition as the Novato Citizen of the Year.
   Ms. Nickel has been a longtime resident of Novato and is well known 
for her community involvement. She was an active public school 
supporter, serving as PTA President, chairman of Safe Grad Night at San 
Marin High School and member of curriculum planning teams, and she 
continued to support Novato public schools in an advisory capacity 
after her children had graduated. Ms. Nickel also served as a Troop 
Leader for Marin Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts and was a team parent for 
Novato Youth Soccer during this time.
   Ms. Nickel's civic involvement has been a constant and positive 
force for the community, including her roles as Chair of the Novato 
Fourth of July Committee, member of the City of Novato's Birthday 
Steering Committee, and as a volunteer coordinator for the Art and Wine 
Festival for the Novato Chamber of Commerce.
   Ms. Nickel has been an exemplary citizen of Novato, striving to 
improve the city for all its residents. Her inspiring commitment and 
dedication will have a lasting impact on her community for many years 
to come.
   Please join me in expressing deep appreciation to Kathy Nickel for 
her long and impressive record of public service.
