   IN RECOGNITION OF THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CAPE COD CHAMBER OF 
                                COMMERCE

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM R. KEATING

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 8, 2012

  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 90th 
anniversary of the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of 
Commerce plays an essential role in the Cape Cod community, networking 
local businesses and offering visitors an insider's perspective on much 
of what the Cape has to offer.
  Founded in 1922, the Chamber of Commerce has grown to represent 
almost 1,400 members. From charities and museums to banks, churches and 
wildlife sanctuaries, the Chamber represents a diverse array of 
organizations on the Cape that help to define its unique character. 
These businesses provide vital services to both residents and visitors. 
Without the hard work the Chamber has done over the course of its long 
history, and without the numerous organizations it represents, the 
business community on the Cape could never have developed the vitality 
and ingenuity that makes it so remarkable.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in thanking the Cape Cod Chamber of 
Commerce and its CEO, Wendy Northcross--as well as the hundreds of 
business and organizations that make it all possible--for their years 
of hard work. I am certain the Chamber's and their member 
organizations' futures will be bright.
