 HONORING THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GREATER LANSING BUSINESS MONTHLY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DEBBIE STABENOW

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 17, 1997

  Ms. STABENOW. Mr. Speaker, 10 years ago J. Christopher Holman founded 
the Greater Lansing Business Monthly in hopes of publicizing and 
promoting local business within the community of Lansing. This week the 
Greater Lansing Business Monthly will celebrate its 10th anniversary.
  I wish to acknowledge the efforts of Chris Holman and his staff to 
promote the strengths of the Lansing business community. With 
readership of over 30,000, the Greater Lansing Business Monthly is 
distributed to all nonresident addresses in Lansing, Mason, Holt, Grand 
Ledge, East Lansing, Haslett, and Okemos. The monthly features local 
stocks, profiles products made in the Lansing area, and provides 
updates on the overall Michigan economy.
  The Greater Lansing Business Monthly serves as a base of local 
economic information to the community and its commitment to local small 
businesses is unmatched. It is much more than a periodical trumpeting 
Greater Lansing as a marvelous place to do business. It is also an 
integral part of the business community with the formation of CEO 
networks, directors luncheons, and the entrepreneurial awards.
  On behalf of all the citizens of Michigan's eighth district, I extend 
congratulations and best wishes to Chris Holman and his staff.
