  Ms. SHALALA. Madam Speaker, I rise in recognition of the Miami Beach 
Chamber of Commerce for its 100th anniversary.
  The Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce has reached a monumental 
milestone this year, helping local businesses flourish for an entire 
century. The Chamber is a valued organization in our South Florida 
community, boasting a membership network upwards of 1,000 businesses. 
Between providing industry-specific advice, hosting monthly networking 
events, and offering informational seminars

and council meetings, the Chamber helps businesses gain exposure and 
promote their services.
  In addition to its contributions to the South Florida business 
community, the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce has made a lasting 
impact on countless children in Miami Beach. Through the Miami Beach 
Chamber Education Foundation, the organization has provided a number of 
kids with educational opportunities and access to medical care through 
scholarships and grants to students and teachers in Miami Beach.
  I am pleased to extend my congratulations to the Miami Beach Chamber 
of Commerce as it marks its 100th year of service. I am grateful for 
all this organization has done for our South Florida community and I 
look forward to its work in the coming years.
