                      Thursday, September 13, 2018

  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
100th birthday of an extraordinary woman and fellow Northeast Georgian, 
Mrs. Julia Dixon.
  Mrs. Dixon has been a resident of Elbert County since August 24, 
1918. After marrying Mr. Henry Dixon on December 21, 1935, she 
committed herself to her family by raising her five children: Ms. 
Jimmie D. Bell, Ms. Cyndie D. Blanford, Mr. George Dixon, Mr. Oscar 
Dixon, and Mr. Neal Dixon.
  In addition to raising a family, Mrs. Dixon invested her local 
community through her work for the Elberton Recreational Department 
during baseball and football seasons. She regularly attended basketball 
games at Elbert County Comprehensive High School until just last year.
  This August 24, Mrs. Dixon celebrated her centennial birthday during 
a party at the local Masonic Lodge. Surrounded by family and friends, 
Mrs. Dixon oversaw the cutting of a very special birthday cake.
  I celebrate a century lived in Northeast Georgia and wish Mrs. Dixon 
a joyful year ahead.
