and wonderful Nevadan, Mrs. Florence Trepp on her 80th birthday. This 
very special lady has dedicated much of her life to public service and 
various charitable causes, including working with abused children. Most 
notably, Florence has been an active supporter of the Parasol Community 
Foundation. A foundation founded by her son Warren in 1996, the Parasol 
Foundation is a unique organization promoting philanthropy, 
collaboration and volunteerism in the Lake Tahoe area. This foundation 
has been successful in ensuring that local charities with common or 
similar missions work together to improve their community and achieve 
their goals.
  Florence Trepp's dedication to her community and to her family stands 
as a role model for all of us. So, Florence, from all of us who admire 
you, from all of us who love you, and from the United States Congress, 
happy birthday.
