                       Monday, September 19, 2022

  Mrs. McCLAIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Thelma 
Castillo and The Blue Water Area Chamber in Port Huron, Michigan for 
supporting, celebrating, and growing small businesses in Michigan.
  The Blue Water Area Chamber is hosting a MI New Favorite Snack 
competition this fall. The competition gives businesses with 10 or 
fewer employees a chance at a generous cash prize. This opportunity 
allows up and coming businesses the chance to show off their products 
and promote them in an exciting new way. Participants look forward to 
the marketing benefits as well as a chance at winning the cash prize to 
invest in the growth of their business.
  Small businesses are a critical part of our economy and community. We 
must continue to help them grow by supporting them in any way we can. I 
applaud the work of Thelma Castillo and The Blue Water Area Chamber for 
recognizing small businesses in Michigan.
