                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 3, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate the 
Fulton Chain of Lakes Association on its 50th anniversary.
  Upon discovering pollution in the waters of the Adirondack Mountains, 
a group of lakefront property owners organized a network of dedicated 
volunteers to form the Fulton Chain of Lakes Association in 1968. Since 
then, the FCLA has worked tirelessly to protect the natural beauty of 
the North Country's waterways. With the help of over 600 members, the 
organization works to maintain water quality and promote boating safety 
in the chain of eight lakes connected throughout Herkimer and Hamilton 
counties. The FCLA's members have been excellent stewards of this 
unique area, allowing residents and visitors to continue enjoying all 
the water has to offer and ensuring that these magnificent lakes will 
endure for generations to come.
  On behalf of New York's 21st district, I would like to thank the 
Fulton Chain of Lakes Association for 50 years of service to the North 
Country, and I wish them all the best in their next 50 years.
