       HONORING SENIOR CITIZENS COORDINATING COUNCIL OF RIVERBAY

                                 ______


                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 20, 1994

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute today to the 
Senior Citizens Coordinating Council of Riverbay, which is celebrating 
its 20th year as sponsor of the Co-op City Multi-Service Center.
  As a resident of Co-op City, I have supported and followed the growth 
of the SCCC over the years. The original concept, conceived in 1973, 
was to form a group with representatives of the six volunteer-operated 
senior clubs in Co-op City. Together, they could work toward ensuring 
the efficient delivery of services to the community. The plan has 
worked.
  The SCCC now sponsors two vital programs serving hundreds of senior 
citizens in the community. The multiservice center helps the elderly 
gain access to a range of program, such as home-delivered meals and 
community based health care. The Co-op City Nutrition and Recreation 
Program operates at three sites in Co-op City, and also provides meals 
to the homebound.
  The SCCC is responsible for maintaining a decent quality of life for 
many senior citizens. It is a difficult mission that requires 
dedication and caring. I have seen first-hand the positive results of 
the work put in by the SCCC's administrator, employees and volunteers.
  Therefore, I congratulate all the people who have been involved in 
the success of the SCCC and thank them on behalf of my constituents. I 
look forward to working with the SCCC for many more years to come.
