  Mrs. McMORRIS RODGERS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
honor the 50th anniversary of the Sinto Senior Activity Center in 
Spokane, Washington. Early in the 1950's a group of enthusiastic senior 
citizens and community leaders began building a dream, a dream that has 
grown into an integral part of the Spokane community serving over 600 
members.
  The Sinto Senior Activity Center offers a variety of activities for 
members which include ballroom dancing, pool, crafts, educational 
opportunities, lunches, social clubs, entertainment, square dancing, 
music, speakers, holiday events, pinochle, cribbage, exercise and 
aerobic classes, round dancing, clogging, community service projects, 
short trips and tours, and many, many more.
  Madam Speaker, the Sinto Senior Activity Center has been a staple of 
the Spokane community for over 50 years and through its leadership and 
steadfast commitment has provided senior citizens of the Spokane area a 
safe and comfortable place to engage in social activities. It is an 
honor and privilege to invite my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating the Sinto Senior Activity Center on its 50th 
anniversary.
