  Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor The Chelsea Area 
Chamber of Commerce, 2010 Business Leadership Award winners. The Large 
Business Award winner is Cleary's Pub and the Small Business Award 
winner is True North Jerky Co. These annual awards are presented by the 
Chelsea Area Chamber of Commerce and the Ambassador Club of the 
Chamber.
  The formal presentation of each award will be during the February 17, 
2011, Annual Meeting for the Chelsea Chamber of Commerce. Each of these 
award winners was judged in several areas that include; displaying 
innovative ideas and services, demonstrated leadership in the Chelsea 
business community, support of the Chelsea Area Chamber of Commerce, 
and contributing to the economic impact of the City of Chelsea.
  Cleary's Pub is owned by Pat Cleary, Meg Boomer, and Joan Henry. This 
brother and sister team of owners has been in business for 20 years in 
their familiar Main Street location in downtown Chelsea.
  True North Jerky Co. is owned by Phil and Jennifer Tolliver. Phil and 
Jennifer also are the franchisee for Bearclaw Coffee Drive-Thru located 
adjacent to the Jerky Co.
  These local businesses in the 7th Congressional District have 
established themselves as true leaders and entrepreneurs who continue 
to spur economic growth even during these tough economic times.
  I would like to commend and congratulate these businesses owners on 
their successful business ventures that have contributed greatly to the 
City of Chelsea, Michigan, and the 7th Congressional District.
