                      Thursday, September 18, 2014

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize the North 
Bay Children's Center on the occasion of the organization's 25th 
Anniversary Celebration, which will take place on November 8, 2014.
   Incorporated in 1986, the North Bay Children's Center was founded on 
the fundamental belief that every child should have equal access to 
quality care and early education. Over the last 25 years, the Center 
has continually met this expectation and become an invaluable asset to 
the local community. Each year, new programs are added as the Center's 
staff continues to create positive change by locally addressing key 
national priorities, such as promoting early literacy, combating 
childhood obesity and reducing poverty.
   The Center serves over 100,000 nutritious meals annually to children 
in California's Second Congressional District. By teaching families 
about nutrition, incorporating local gardens to enhance early 
education, and encouraging childhood literacy, the North Bay Children's 
Center promotes parent engagement and works to ensure that every child 
is ready to succeed in school and life from an early age.
   Please join me in congratulating the North Bay Children's Center on 
25 years of outstanding service to the children and families of Marin 
and Sonoma counties and wish them many years of future success.

                          ____________________
