      HONORING KELLIE SITES, WACONIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRESIDENT

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM EMMER

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 15, 2020

  Mr. EMMER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the career of Kellie 
Sites, Waconia Chamber of Commerce President. Kellie joined the Waconia 
Chamber of Commerce in February of 2008 and will be departing in June 
of 2020, after twelve years of dedicated service.
  Since her arrival to Waconia, Kellie has been an advocate for 
promoting business, allowing Waconia's economy to continue to flourish. 
She has exemplified the founding principles of the Waconia Chamber of 
Commerce, to create economic development, promote tourism, provide 
member services to the people of Waconia and stay active in every level 
of politics.
  Kellie has organized and run some of Waconia's most loved events, 
including Nickle Dickle Days, Fourth of July Fireworks and the 
Governor's fishing opener on Lake Waconia. Waconia's close-knit 
community would be incomplete without the multitude of phenomenal 
events that are made possible by Kellie and the Waconia Chamber of 
Commerce.
  I congratulate Kellie and her husband, Bill, on her retirement. 
Although I am saddened by her departure from Waconia, I wish her the 
best of luck with her move to Washington state.

                          ____________________
