                        RECOGNIZING DIANNE REESE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MIKE GALLAGHER

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 26, 2023

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize Dianne Reese 
for receiving the New Holstein Chamber of Commerce's 2022 Distinguished 
Person of the Year Award.
  Dianne was born and raised in Marytown, WI, and was 1 of 9 children 
born to August and Isabella Sippel. Having been raised on the family 
farm, Dianne grew up knowing the true meaning of hard work as she would 
help bale hay and pick up stones. From an early age, Dianne began 
volunteering and working to serve others in her community. For many 
years to come, Dianne would build a lengthy resume consisting of public 
service and volunteerism that is truly remarkable.
  Throughout her decades of service, Dianne held several positions, 
including leadership in the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, Mayor of New 
Holstein, and member of both the Legion Auxiliary and the New Holstein 
Kiwanis Club. During Dianne's tenure as Mayor of New Holstein, she 
worked to streamline government to increase efficiency and worked 
diligently to improve awareness of the prairie area in Kiwanis Park. I 
commend Dianne's 12 years of service as the Mayor of New Holstein and 
thank her for her outstanding leadership.
  It is clear that wherever Dianne turns she leaves a lasting positive 
impact on those around her. She is a true asset to our community and 
all of Northeast Wisconsin.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Mrs. Dianne Reese for 
receiving the New Holstein Chamber of Commerce's 2022 Distinguished 
Person of the Year Award. Dianne's service and commitment to New 
Holstein and Northeast Wisconsin is deserving of the highest degree of 
recognition.
