  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Yarmouth 
Chamber of Commerce upon its fiftieth anniversary. The Chamber of 
Commerce plays an essential role in the Yarmouth community, connecting 
local businesses and offering visitors an insider's perspective on much 
of what this beautiful coastal town has to offer.
  Founded in 1962, the Chamber of Commerce has grown to be comprised of 
nearly 400 members. From museums and charities to banks, churches, and 
seaside restaurants, the Chamber represents a diverse array of the 
organizations that help to give Yarmouth its unique character. Every 
day, these businesses provide vital services to Yarmouth's year-round 
residents and to its countless visitors. The many years of hard work by 
the Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce have been essential in developing 
Yarmouth's vitality, a characteristic that draws so many to this 
beachside town every year.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in thanking the Yarmouth Chamber of 
Commerce, its leaders, and the hundreds of businesses and organizations 
for their years of service to the town of Yarmouth. I am certain that 
the Chamber's and its member organizations' futures will be bright.
