   TRIBUTE TO SITESURFER PUBLISHING--NEW HAMPSHIRE ``BUSINESS IN THE 
                          ARTS'' AWARD WINNER

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to Sitesurfer Publishing upon its recognition as a 2000 New 
Hampshire ``Business in the Arts'' award winner in the microenterprise 
category.
  Sitesurfer Publishing has proven that a little bit of time and energy 
is all it takes to make a significant impact in the arts. This company 
has allowed such organizations as the Capitol Center for the Arts in 
Concord to become more competitive in today's high-tech world of on-
line business. Sitesurfer created a website for the Capitol Center 
which resulted in thousands of dollars worth of contributions and 
tickets sold. This type of competitive edge has attracted worldwide 
visitors and increased the appeal of corporate sponsorship packages, 
proving to be the sort of revenue needed to continue the Capitol 
Center's many programs.
  Sitesurfer has gone a step further in assuring the future of the 
Capitol Center's newest technology by providing the necessary hands-on 
training for the Center's staff to maintain and update the website, 
while still making itself available for support and hands-on work when 
it is needed. Sitesurfer understands the importance of making the arts 
accessible to others by providing memberships and complimentary tickets 
to their employees and clients.
  Without the support of dedicated businesses, the arts would not be 
able to flourish in the state. Despite its small size, Sitesurfer 
Publishing has demonstrated that even small businesses can take an 
active role in the community not only by donating money, but by 
investing time and hard work into civic causes. Sitesurfer truly 
signifies the deep personal commitment of small businesses across the 
state to supporting the causes that make New Hampshire the place to 
call home. It is an honor to represent them in the United States 
Senate.
