                      Wednesday, January 27, 2010

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I would like to request the 
House's attention today to pay recognition to the Alexander City 
Chamber of Commerce's 100 years of service to the business community. 
Governor Bob Riley will be a special guest and keynote speaker at the 
ceremony honoring the occasion.
  On February 19th, the Chamber will host their annual meeting to give 
recognition to incoming Board of Directors as well as those retiring 
this year. As always, during this annual meeting they also plan to pay 
tribute to the Business Person of the Year, the ``Community Spirit'' 
award recipient, Firefighter of the Year, Police Officer of the Year, 
Teacher of the Year and Chamber Ambassador of the Year.
  This event will be held at the Betty Carol Graham Technology Center 
on the campus of Central Alabama Community College in Alexander City.
  All of us across Tallapoosa County and East Alabama are deeply proud 
of the successes of organizations like the Alexander City Chamber, and 
look forward to the next 100 years of service from this important 
community organization and so many others like it.

                          ____________________
