     CONGRATULATING THE GEORGETOWN/SCOTT COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I congratulate the 
Georgetown/Scott County Chamber of Commerce, a nonprofit business 
organization that recently celebrated its 50th anniversary.
  The Georgetown/Scott County Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1959. 
The chamber promotes local businesses and ensures that jobs stay in the 
Georgetown and Scott County area. During this uncertain economic time, 
organizations such as the Georgetown/Scott County Chamber of Commerce 
strive to ensure that local businesses continue to prosper. The chamber 
celebrated this distinct milestone at its annual banquet on April 24, 
2009, where current chamber president Christie Hockensmith expressed 
her optimism for the next 50 years.
  Again, I congratulate the Georgetown/Scott County Chamber of Commerce 
on 50 years of service. I wish the chamber the best in the future and 
in continued support of local businesses.
