  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
recognize the Alamosa County Chamber of Commerce for over eighty years 
of impeccable service to the Alamosa, Colorado business community. The 
Alamosa Chamber is an incredible asset to the town, and I would like to 
join my colleagues here today in recognizing the Chamber's tremendous 
service to the Alamosa community.
  Looking back on the history of Alamosa, the Chamber has sponsored 
many events and activities to improve the town, including its Town and 
Gown banquet, Cribbage tournaments, and founding the Alamosa Community 
Development Corporation. The Chamber has also helped to maintain a 
fantastic relationship between the town and Adams State College

through sponsoring scholarships and organizing community and school 
events. Most importantly, the Chamber has been instrumental in 
promoting local businesses, aiding in their growth and success 
throughout the years.
  Mr. Speaker, the Alamosa County Chamber of Commerce is a dedicated 
organization that is actively involved in bringing the people of 
Alamosa together. For over eight decades, the Chamber has left an 
indelible mark of excellence on the Alamosa community and the State of 
Colorado. It is my privilege to pay tribute to the Chamber and its 
members before this body of Congress and this nation today. I thank 
them for the remarkable service they provide to Alamosa and the State 
of Colorado.
