  Mr. SCHNEIDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a few of the 
companies that make the suburban Chicago communities I represent ideal 
places to build businesses and start families. Each year, the Lake 
County Chamber of Commerce recognizes excellence in the business 
community and also in the realm of community service.
   Like this year's honorees, the Lake County Chamber of Commerce 
understands that a thriving business community helps build a thriving 
town, village or city. From practicing good, everyday corporate 
citizenship to launching community initiatives and engaging the 
community culturally, the businesses and employees of Illinois's Lake 
County routinely go above and beyond typical expectations.
   It is my great pleasure to recognize the 2014 Lake County Chamber of 
Commerce Honorees: Tranel Financial Group will receive the Community 
Involvement Award; AbbVie will receive the Major Benefactor Award; Six 
Flags Great America will receive the Good Neighbor Award; Kimberly 
Kreml of Key Lime Cove will receive the Volunteer of the Year Award; 
and The Waukegan Public Library will receive the Community Impact 
Award.
   Each of these honorees has demonstrated a deep commitment to the 
community and to the spirit of service. I am proud that Lake County is 
home to so many responsible businesses, organizations and individuals 
who dedicate themselves to helping those around them and enriching our 
communities.
