                      Thursday, February 15, 2018

  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize Shell 
Fab & Design as the West Seneca Chamber of Commerce's 2018 Chamber 
Member of the Year. For over a quarter of a century, Shell Fab & Design 
has characterized what it means to be a successful small business and 
active member of the community, donating to various important causes 
and charities while maintaining over forty full-time employees.
  Shell Fab & Design has specialized in providing customers in the 
Western New York area with high quality residential and commercial 
surfacing work, cabinetry, and kitchen countertops. Because of its 
renowned service, Shell Fab & Design has gained a well-deserved 
reputation in the community as a leader in the stone countertop 
industry.
  Along with consistently providing excellence in the custom and 
manufacturing aspects of the countertop business, Shell Fab & Design 
has kept ahead of the curve through innovation. It is this ability to 
keep up with the ever-changing nature of the economy while providing an 
exceptional level of quality that has allowed the business to thrive 
and expand.
  Shell Fab & Design is as generous as it is successful. The business 
contributes to Queen of Heaven Parish, the Society for the Prevention 
of Cruelty to Animals, the West Seneca Food Pantry, Habitat for 
Humanity, and breast cancer research. Frequently, they donate cutting 
board sets to school fundraisers, sports fundraisers, and other 
charitable causes.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish again to recognize an exceptional business, Shell 
Fab & Design, and all that their employees do for West Seneca and the 
greater Western New York region. I congratulate Shell Fab & Design on 
their selection as the West Seneca Chamber of Commerce's 2018 Chamber 
Member of the Year and wish the business and its employees success in 
all future endeavors.
