  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Falmouth 
Chamber of Commerce upon its one-hundredth anniversary.
  The Chamber of Commerce plays an essential role in the Falmouth 
community, connecting local businesses and offering visitors an 
important perspective on much of what this beautiful Cape Cod town has 
to offer. Founded in 1914, the Chamber of Commerce has grown to 
represent many small businesses that form the backbone of Falmouth's 
thriving local economy. From museums and banks to churches, charities, 
and seaside attractions, the Chamber represents a diverse array of the 
organizations that help to give this community its unique character. 
Every day, these businesses provide vital services to the area's year-
round residents and to its countless visitors. The one hundred years of 
hard work by the Chamber of Commerce have been essential in developing 
the town's vitality, a characteristic that draws so many to Falmouth 
every year.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in thanking the Falmouth Chamber of 
Commerce, its leaders, and the businesses and organizations it 
represents for their years of service to the town of Falmouth. I am 
certain that we will see many more great things from the Chamber in the 
years to come.
