                        Thursday, June 17, 2010

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Judy Trout of Saint Joseph, Missouri. Judy is active in the community 
through her generous acts of service and has been chosen to receive the 
YWCA Women of Excellence Lifetime Achievement Award for Woman in 
Volunteerism.
  Judy has been a licensed dental hygienist for more than 50 years, 49 
of them served in the St. Joseph community. Judy started out in private 
practice, but later moved to the Social Welfare Board where she served 
some of St. Joseph's poorest citizens. In 1963 she worked tirelessly to 
advocate adding fluoride to the drinking water to establish healthy 
teeth for babies and children. Her most recent contribution was the 
establishment of a dental hygiene program at Hillyard Technical School, 
for which she was recognized by the State Dental Association.
  In addition to her efforts as a hygienist, Judy has maintained an 
extensive presence in the community. She has served on the admissions 
committee of United Way, chairing it for two years. She has been 
involved with Girl Scout troops, PTA, Student Exchange Program, Cub 
Scout den mother, volunteer for Each One Teach One, Meals on Wheels and 
with Missouri Western State University Ambassadors. She has also taken 
on leadership roles with St. Joseph Junior League, InterServ, PEO, and 
Ladies Union Benevolent Association.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Judy 
Trout. Her achievements and selfless acts of service have impacted 
countless individuals in and beyond the St. Joseph Community. I am 
honored to represent her in the United States Congress.
