The Chamber would like to express its condolences to the family of the late Congressman Joseph McDade, pictured far right. “Congressman Joe McDade was truly an iconic figure in northeastern Pennsylvania,” said Chamber President Bob Durkin. “Be it business development, higher education, healthcare, transportation, tourism and more, he did more than just bring home federal funding -- he helped shape the economic, social and cultural landscape of our region. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.” The Chamber recently welcomed Kaleigh Barr, a senior strategic communications major at The University of Scranton, as the communications department’s intern for the fall semester. www.scrantonchamber.com • 3
