                       Tuesday, February 3, 2026

  Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
extraordinary dedication and service of Doreen Neilson, who has devoted 
60 years to serving the Town of Pendleton and the Wendelville Fire 
Company Ladies Auxiliary. Over the course of her long and distinguished 
career, Doreen has held numerous leadership and administrative roles, 
providing unwavering support to both the firefighters and the 
community.
  Together with her husband Victor, she helped establish and run the 
famous Fish and Chips at the Annual Wendelville Field Days and has 
contributed to countless social and fundraising activities that sustain 
the Wendelville Volunteer Fire Company. Her dedication has ensured that 
the Ladies Auxiliary remains a vital part of the organization and the 
community.
  Doreen's leadership, experience, and commitment have served as an 
example for all members of the Wendelville Volunteer Fire Company and 
the broader community.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that the United States House of Representatives 
join me in honoring Doreen Neilson for her remarkable 60 years of 
service and in wishing her continued success and fulfillment in her 
ongoing commitment to the community.
