                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. BRADLEY S. SCHNEIDER

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 10, 2014

  Mr. SCHNEIDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Polish American 
Chamber of Commerce (PACC) on the occasion of its Annual Golf Outing, 
hosted in Riverwoods, IL, in my district.
   The PACC is a strong and clear voice for the Polish American 
business community in the Chicagoland area and an important advocate 
for the interests of its member companies and the working families they 
employ. The Chicagoland area is proudly home to one of the most 
prominent Polish American business communities in the country. Through 
a tightly-knit network of member organizations, the PACC strives to 
enhance the vitality of this community by facilitating cooperation, 
building partnerships and promoting mutually beneficial trade relations 
between Poland and the United States.
  Our business community in the Tenth District is strong because it is 
just that: a community.
  Working together and sharing strategies, being inspired by the 
innovation of fellow small businesses, companies in the Tenth District 
have fostered a community of mutual success and prosperity. It is this 
type of activity that the PACC promotes and is so important to our 
economic success in the 21st Century.
  Mr. Speaker, business associations like PACC are integral to driving 
the success of small businesses throughout our nation, which in turn 
will lift the rest of our economy. I thank the PACC for its work, and I 
wish only great success for this year's golf outing and PACC's future.
