      THE 15TH ANNIVERSARY OF EAST SHORE REGIONAL ADULT DAY CENTER

   Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to honor the East 
Shore Regional Adult Day Center on the occasion of their 15th 
anniversary.
  For the past 15 years, the Adult Day Center has been serving the 
needs of the elderly and the disabled with loving care. The center has 
provided medical monitoring, recreational therapeutic treatment, and 
innovative programs to the mentally and physically challenged adults of 
the Connecticut community. Over 600 families from the Greater New Haven 
area have been granted respite from the Adult Day Center and both the 
State and the Nation have recognized the center with awards for service 
and humanitarianism.
  The East Shore Regional Adult Day Center's dedication and commitment 
to the citizens of Connecticut can be seen not only through its 
continued efforts to provide clients and families with comfort and 
support, but also in its Intergenerational Program, a program designed 
to involve children from various local schools in the area in 
activities at the center.
  I am confident that I speak for all of the citizens of Connecticut in 
expressing pride and gratitude for the East Shore Regional Adult Day 
Center as it celebrates its 15th anniversary. The executive director, 
Thomas Russell Romano, and his staff have committed themselves to 
providing much needed care and treatment for the people of 
Connecticut.
