                        Friday, February 2, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join the Saratoga County 
Chamber of Commerce in celebrating its 100th anniversary.
  The Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce was founded by local business 
leaders in 1918 and has been making Saratoga County a great place to 
live, work, and play ever since. Comprised of over 2,700 businesses, 
the Chamber has experienced great success in fulfilling its mission of 
initiating and providing programs and services in support of its 
members and Saratoga County as a whole.
  The Chamber celebrated its centennial year at its annual dinner on 
January 25, 2018, where nearly 1,000 members and supporters attended. 
At the event, the 2017 Chair of the Board, David Collins, was thanked 
for his year of volunteer leadership and the incredible contributions 
he has made that have fostered growth in Saratoga County. For its 100th 
year, the Chamber also began a new tradition of presenting the Joe 
Dalton Community Service Award, named after a longtime leader of the 
Chamber. The award was presented to Steve ``Sully'' Sullivan, owner of 
The Olde Bryan Inn and Longfellows Inn & Conference Center, for his 
extensive efforts in assisting those in need in the community.
  On behalf of New York's 21st Congressional District, I would like to 
congratulate the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce and its dedicated 
leaders and members as they celebrate their 100th anniversary. I would 
also like to thank them for their years of hard work. I look forward to 
hearing about the Chamber's successes in Saratoga County in the years 
to come.
