    CONGRATULATING THE KERNERSVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ON ITS 50TH 
                              ANNIVERSARY

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Kernersville Chamber 
of Commerce on celebrating its 50th anniversary this week. This 
organization is a steadfast pillar of the strong business community in 
Kernersville, North Carolina.
  The Teacher Grant Program is among the chamber's many significant 
contributions to local education and investments in future business 
leaders. Each year, teachers submit proposals for creative ``hands on'' 
lessons, and with moneys raised over the summer, the chamber awards at 
least one $500 grant to each school.
  The chamber also supports current community and business leaders 
through its Leadership Kernersville Program, which has prepared 200 
participants for leadership roles and involvement within the community, 
the region, and the State since 1993.
  The Kernersville Chamber of Commerce has been an incredible asset to 
the community and will continue to be so for many years to come.
