  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Anderson's Frozen Custard as the recipient of the 41st Small Business 
of the Year award, given by the Cheektowaga Chamber of Commerce. 
Anderson's Frozen Custard has been given this honor because of the 
devoted efforts of its founders, Carl and Greta Anderson, who have 
transformed their small business into a successful and generous 
establishment in Western New York.
  Carl, a Navy veteran, Greta, and their children Nels, Keith, and 
Holly Anderson, have transformed Anderson's Frozen Custard from a small 
New York City custard stand to a thriving business with several 
locations throughout Western New York due to their hard work and savvy 
business sense. The Andersons can credit much of their success to their 
ability to adapt their business to changing times and locations, as 
well as their dedication to making Anderson's a success.
  Not only has Anderson's Frozen Custard succeed in the business world, 
but the company has also contributed to the Western New York community. 
Anderson's has worked to raise funds for organizations such as Big 
Brothers/Big Sisters, Camp Good Days and Special Times, and local 
schools. This commitment to maintaining both a successful business and 
community indicates the mark of a business deserving of this honor.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that congratulations be extended to Anderson's 
Frozen Custard in receiving this honor because of its outstanding 
achievements in business and dedication to improving the lives of 
Western New York residents.
