in 1980.

  Mid Valley Packaging is a distributor of agricultural and industrial 
packaging supplies. Their business is a great service in an area where 
agriculture and agriculture distribution supplies are very necessary 
and important.
  Husband and wife John and Lorrie Gahvejian started Mid Valley 
Packaging in January of 1980. The Gahvejian's began as the first two 
employees of Mid Valley Packaging.
  Today, Mid Valley Packaging employs over 50 people out of their 
headquarters in Fowler, California. Mid Valley Packaging has always 
been located in the quaint city of Fowler, which is famous for their 
abundant raisin production.
  John and Lorrie's business philosophy has always been to offer 
customers the highest level of service combined with the most 
competitive price. Much of their growth can be attributed to their 
willingness and ability to respond quickly to their customer's needs.
  Mid Valley Packaging has been recognized by many vendors and 
customers as a leader in the packaging industry. In 1997, the Fowler 
Chamber of Commerce selected Mid Valley Packaging as the ``Industry of 
the Year.''
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Mid Valley Packaging on the 
occasion of their 21st year anniversary celebration. I urge my 
colleagues to join me in honoring Mid Valley Packaging and wishing the 
Gahvejian family many more years of continued success.
