the region, working hard to strengthen economic opportunity throughout 
the area and the state.

  These recipients are among the best that Maine has to offer. Through 
their leadership and their incredible commitment to their communities 
and to the region, Maine is a better place in which to live and do 
business.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me again in congratulating the Mid-Maine 
Chamber of Commerce and the award recipients on their outstanding 
service and achievements.
