  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Senior Citizen 
Resources for sponsoring the 13th annual Senior Olympics in Cleveland, 
Ohio.
  Senior Citizen Resources, Inc. has been serving the 60+ population in 
the Cleveland area for 27 years. The organization provides much needed 
services such as transportation, nutrition programs, volunteer 
opportunities, and health programs to the senior citizens in the 
community. Thousands of senior citizens take advantage of the outreach 
programs and services offered by Senior Citizen Resources each year.
  The seven-day Senior Olympics is one of the most unique and most 
popular activities sponsored by Senior Citizen Resources. Some of the 
events held this week include bowling, miniature golf, darts, swimming, 
water walking, horseshoes, table tennis, basketball toss, softball 
throw, lawn toss, ballroom dance, golf, bean bag toss, volleyball, and 
shuffleboard. There are also special events for the physically 
challenged. The Olympics will conclude with a Victory Luncheon and an 
Olympic Parade featuring all the athletes.
  My fellow colleagues, please join me in saluting the spirited 
participants of the Senior Olympics and the leadership of Senior 
Citizen Resources.
