  Mr. SWEENEY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to honor a 
distinguished constituent of the 20th District of New York; Mr. Lewis 
Golub. Mr. Golub's tireless contributions to his business, employees, 
and community are outstanding and have resulted in the formation of a 
successful company that has benefited many.
  Over the past 50 years, Lewis Golub has worked vigorously to develop 
and support the Golub Corporation/Price Chopper Supermarkets, a large 
and extremely successful supermarket chain in Northern New York. Yet, 
Mr. Golub does not limit his efforts to his business. As the Regional 
Vice Chair of the New York State Business Council, an active member of 
the Board of Directors of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, the 
Empire State College, and the Food Marketing Institute, Mr. Golub plays 
a pivotal role in many other facets of the community, extending himself 
to the services of his fellow neighbors. In addition, Mr. Golub has 
received the Humanitarian of the Year Award from the New York Chiefs of 
Police, the Arthritis Foundation's Accolade for Community Service, and 
the Community Service Award from the Interfaith Community of 
Schenectady, New York. These many awards reflect Mr. Golub's strong 
commitment to his community. He has distinguished himself through his 
financial support for his community; there are few who possess the same 
passion.
  Mr. Golub has received numerous awards including, the United Way's 
CEO of the Year Award and the John J. O'Connor Excellence in Leadership 
Award, as well as the American Marketing Association's Marketer of the 
Year Award, the New York Capital District Business Review's Executive 
of the Year Award, and the Capital Region Business Hall of Fame Award, 
among others. The Golub Corporation/Price Chopper Supermarkets remain a 
sturdy pillar of business in the Upstate Region of New York.
  Mr. Golub's charitable spirit is evident in every aspect of his life. 
It is through his tenacious character and generous qualities that

the community enjoys the services of Mr. Golub. Mr. Speaker, please 
join me as I recognize the significant life accomplishments of Mr. 
Lewis Golub and wish him all the best in his bright future. We can all 
take a chapter from his life and benefit from his example. My 
Congressional District is better served through the commitment to 
excellence Mr. Golub demonstrates and our communities are fortunate to 
call him a neighbor and friend.
