                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 4, 2019

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Amber Patch-
Troxell for winning the Meritorious Service Award through the Kewanee 
Chamber of Commerce. Ms. Patch-Troxell's dedication to the Kewanee 
community is admirable, and I commend her for winning this award.
  Ms. Patch-Troxell graduated from Wethersfield High School in 1999 and 
went on to pursue a career in insurance. She has been with Farmers 
Insurance for 11 years, and is an asset to the Kewanee community. So 
much so that she has been recognized in the community already by 
receiving the Elks Club Citizen of the Year award and the Kewanee Park 
District's Child's Best Friend award. Ms. Patch-Troxell also started 
Patchy's Toy Drive and has provided Christmas gifts to children and 
teenagers in need in the community, while also providing a helping hand 
to families who are faced with loss due to fire or a medical emergency. 
Her fundraising events have become community happenings where her 
kindness and generosity have not gone unnoticed. I admire Mr. 
Whitcher's service to Kewanee and thank her for her many contributions 
to the community.
  It is because of community leaders like Ms. Patch-Troxell that I am 
especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam 
Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Amber Patch-
Troxell for winning the Meritorious Service Award given by the Kewanee 
Chamber of Commerce.
