  Mr. DONNELLY of Indiana. Madam Speaker, I rise in recognition of the 
60th anniversary of Logan Center in South Bend, Indiana. Since 1950, 
Logan Center has been a leader in north central Indiana's community in 
supporting individuals with disabilities.
  Americans with developmental or physical disabilities and their 
families face particularly daunting challenges to maintain health, 
independence, and quality of life. For the past 60 years, Logan Center 
has helped these individuals and their families achieve full, 
successful lives. They provide services such as vocational training and 
community outings for adults and speech, physical, and occupational 
therapy for children. The Center also runs Best Buddies, which pairs 
individuals with disabilities with students from local colleges, 
forming bonds between individuals across the community.
  Additionally, this August, Logan Center will host their 7th annual 
Logan's Run, a local race and fun walk to raise awareness and benefit 
those with developmental disabilities.
  Logan Center is a well respected organization with the proven ability 
to improve and change lives, and I am proud of their continued support 
of our local community for the past 60 years, with many more to come in 
the future.
