                RECOGNIZING THE RAPID CITY MEALS PROGRAM

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I honor the Rapid City, SD, 
MEALS program as they celebrate 26 years of dedicated service to the 
Black Hills community.
  For more than a quarter century, the Rapid City MEALS program has 
provided our seniors with quality nutrition, education, community, and 
support services so they can live in their own homes and maintain their 
independence.
  The MEALS program would not be able to perform its invaluable mission 
without the hard work and dedication of the many volunteers who put in 
countless hours serving the needs of others. These compassionate 
individuals are truly the backbone of the Rapid City community and I 
hope that their service will inspire others to lend a helping hand.
  It gives me great pleasure, with the State of South Dakota, to 
congratulate the MEALS Program of Rapid City on this important 
anniversary and wish them continued success in the years to 
come.
