     CONGRATULATING GREATER SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

  (Mr. KELLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KELLER. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the people of Pennsylvania's 
12th Congressional District, congratulations to the Greater Susquehanna 
Valley Chamber of Commerce on being named the Chamber of the Year by 
the Pennsylvania Association of Chamber Professionals.
  Located in Shamokin Dam, the Greater Susquehanna Valley Chamber has 
been in operation for 99 years and is a conglomeration of other local 
chambers, some of which are older than the main organization. It was 
named Chamber of the Year based upon its organizational strengths, 
including programs that encourage networking and a chamber ambassador 
program.
  The chamber's most recent success is in attracting Luzerne County 
Community College to open a branch campus in Watsontown, Pennsylvania. 
Chamber officials credit its success to the work of its members and 
staff working together to achieve positive economic outcomes for the 
people of the Greater Susquehanna Valley.
  Again, congratulations to the Greater Susquehanna Valley Chamber of 
Commerce and to president and CEO Bob Garrett on receiving the Chamber 
of the Year award.
