                         HONORING ROBERT NEMER

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 22, 2024

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
Robert Nemer, who has been selected by the Adirondack Regional Chamber 
of Commerce to receive the 35th Annual J. Walter Juckett Community 
Service Award.
  Robert embodies the philanthropic spirit of the award's namesake. 
Since moving to the North Country in 1970 to assist his father with the 
operations of his car dealership, he and his brother have transformed 
the enterprise into a successful business with several locations across 
Upstate New York. Robert's community is something he cherishes deeply, 
and throughout his life, he has gone above and beyond to give back.
  As a former teacher, the needs of young students are a matter of 
special concern for Robert. Alongside the Tri-County United Way and the 
Post Star, he founded the Kids with Packs program to ensure that 
students have the supplies they need to start each school year strong. 
In keeping with this devotion to education, Robert and his wife 
Francine have also helped to facilitate various youth enrichment 
programs run by the Hyde Collection.
  Equally remarkable is the commitment Robert has shown to the North 
Country hospitals and doctors. Through the Nemer Auto Group, he has 
granted considerable financial support to the Glenn Falls, Saint 
Peter's, and Saratoga hospitals while simultaneously serving on the 
board of the Hudson Headwaters Health Network. In his spare time, 
Robert may be found either volunteering with these very same 
institutions or working for another cause close to his heart: the 
preservation of his beloved Lake George. The Lake George Association 
simply would not look the same without Robert's efforts.
  Over the years, Robert Nemer has proven himself to be a consistent 
force for good in his adopted home state. On behalf of New York's 21st 
District, I thank Robert for his contributions to the life of our 
district and congratulate him on this richly deserved award.
