                         TRIBUTE TO NICCI BAKER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 31, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Nicci Baker of Pleasant Hill, Iowa for being named the 
2016 Pleasant Hill Volunteer of the Year at the Pleasant Hill Chamber 
of Commerce Annual Dinner and Awards Ceremony earlier this year.
  The Volunteer of the Year award celebrates a chamber member who is 
active within the organization. Almost everywhere she goes, you will 
find Nicci promoting the Pleasant Hill Chamber of Commerce, and 
encouraging others to join. If there is a chamber event you can be sure 
she will be there, and she is a member who can always be counted on to 
do her part, from stuffing envelopes to putting up tents. Nicci 
understands the benefits of having strong local businesses in her 
community, so she doesn't hesitate to help serve food at chamber member 
business's open houses, as well as dishing up tacos for The Shores 
Senior Living Community.
  Mr. Speaker, I'm proud to represent community leaders like Nicci in 
the United States Congress, and it is with great pride that I recognize 
her today. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Nicci for this outstanding 
achievement and in wishing her nothing but continued success.
