                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 29, 2019

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride that 
I congratulate the Gettysburg Chamber of Commerce of Gettysburg, 
Pennsylvania on the occasion of its 100th annual meeting.
  In September of 1918, Gettysburg businessman Roy Funkhouser organized 
a group of local businessmen to support economic development in 
Gettysburg, commencing the service of the Chamber of Commerce. In the 
past century, the chamber has expanded its reach to serve the entirety 
of Adams County.
  Throughout its history, the Gettysburg Chamber of Commerce has led 
and supported important projects. From helping to establish a county 
library in 1931 to supporting the victims of Hurricane Andrew and 
commencing Adams County's Small Business Appreciation week tradition, 
the membership of the chamber has made a lasting legacy in our region.
  With more than 600 members, the Gettysburg Chamber of Commerce is a 
strong advocate for entrepreneurs and the workforce of Adams County. It 
is my privilege to represent the chamber in the U.S. House of 
Representatives, and I congratulate the leaders and members of the 
chamber upon this outstanding achievement.
