  Mr. BUDD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Business High 
Point--Chamber of Commerce on their 100th year anniversary.
  In 1919, a small group of volunteers founded the High Point Chamber 
of Commerce to improve the community and foster long-term economic 
growth.
  As High Point has grown and changed, so has its Chamber of Commerce. 
Today, its membership includes over 950 businesses representing a 
plethora of economic industries across Guilford County and beyond. 
Additionally, there are now hundreds of volunteers and nine staff 
members eager to create positive change for their community.
  Daily, this Chamber works in honor of its mission to, ``initiate, 
inspire, and accelerate the kind of change that propels its members to 
success and its community to prominence.'' I applaud the Chamber, its 
members, volunteers and staff for working hard to improve our community 
and strengthen partnerships.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in honoring the 100th anniversary 
of Business High Point--Chamber of Commerce.

                          ____________________
