  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Denver Harbor Senior Citizens, Inc. on twenty-five years of service to 
the senior citizens of Denver Harbor, Texas. Since its founding in June 
of 1980, Denver Harbor Senior Citizens has provided an outlet for 
seniors in our area to get together on a regular basis, socialize, and 
maintain meaningful friendships.
  On any given weekday, the Denver Harbor Recreation Complex is visited 
by a large group of active senior citizens. Many gather in groups to 
play dominoes, bingo, or Loteria, a traditional Mexican game. While the 
games often bring out some good-natured competition among the players, 
everyone enjoys the camaraderie and laughter that the group activities 
provide.
  Without doubt, Denver Harbor Senior Citizens, Inc. is one of the most 
active senior centers in Harris County. In addition to the programs 
provided in the new and beautiful Denver Harbor Recreation Complex, the 
group sponsors numerous senior outings and trips to Austin and other 
areas within the State of Texas, where the members can recall the Texas 
history lessons we all learned as schoolchildren.
  Denver Harbor Senior Citizens also provides hot meals for its 
members, an invaluable service ensuring that senior citizens have well-
balanced meals. As we age, the importance of nutrition cannot be 
underestimated and is critical to our good health. This group has taken 
that principle to heart and has put in place the benefits and services 
that keep our senior citizens active and healthy--in body, mind and 
spirit.
  On May 19, 2006, Denver Harbor Senior Citizens will officially 
celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary with a dinner reception and 
dance at the Denver Harbor Recreation Complex.
  I would like to extend to this group my heartfelt congratulations and 
thanks for twenty-five years of dedication to Denver Harbor's senior 
citizens and wish them all the best in the future.
