  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Moore County 
Chamber of Commerce as we celebrate its 50th Anniversary. Thanks to the 
hard work of the countless individuals involved with this organization, 
Moore County has never been a better place to live, work, or visit.
  Established in 1967 as the Southern Pines Area Chamber of Commerce, 
this organization has long stood for the advancement of civic, 
cultural, and economic prosperity. By engaging with local leaders, the 
chamber has created a successful model for integrating businesses and 
the community they serve. Members continually choose to invest their 
time and money into the development of a better business environment 
for current and future generations.
  There is no doubt in my mind that Moore County is a better place 
today thanks to their Chamber of Commerce. The hardworking men and 
women at the Chamber have continued to provide their members with the 
resources they need to grow and thrive in an ever-changing economic 
climate. As a result, businesses continue to choose Moore County as the 
place they want to reside in order to be successful. I look forward to 
maintaining a close relationship with the Chamber and its members as we 
work together to create a better future for all folks across Moore 
County.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in recognizing the Moore County 
Chamber of Commerce on its 50th anniversary and wishing them continued 
success in the years to come.
