  Mr. BARLETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the Greater Carlisle Area 
Chamber of Commerce in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, which celebrated its 
100th anniversary on October 10, 2013.
   Founded in 1751, the borough of Carlisle is a historic community in 
south-central Pennsylvania. The Greater Carlisle Area Chamber of 
Commerce was founded in 1913 and serves to encourage economic growth 
and stability throughout the area. The Chamber takes on many roles 
vital to the prosperity of the borough including helping start and grow 
local businesses, planning and hosting networking and professional 
development events, and assisting tourists in exploring the town. They 
continue to be an important asset to this growing community.
   Mr. Speaker, for 100 years the Greater Carlisle Area Chamber of 
Commerce has been a catalyst for economic growth in Carlisle, PA. 
Therefore, I commend all those who have served to improve their 
community as part of this important organization.
