                             of new mexico

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 14, 2016

  Mr. BEN RAY LUJAN of New Mexico. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize and congratulate Ms. Dixie Trebbe, a tireless volunteer, a 
fierce leader, and a passionate advocate. She has always been involved 
in the political process and encouraged others to participate and 
exercise their fundamental right to vote. Dixie is also on the American 
Association of University Women's National Public Policy Committee, the 
New Mexico NOW State Board, and the New Mexico Capital City Task Force 
for the AARP, and she is active with the American Legion Auxiliary and 
the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
   New Mexico's legislators know Dixie as a passionate champion of 
issues that face our community, and new volunteers know her as a role 
model. As an octogenarian, Dixie sets an example for all generations, 
showing us what real service is and what commitment to justice can 
accomplish.
   Dixie will be leaving New Mexico to live with her children in Iowa, 
and while we are sorry to see her go, New Mexico's loss will surely be 
Iowa's gain. Dixie, thank you for your service.
