  Ms. ESTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the unveiling of the 
newly renovated Boys & Girls Club of Greater Waterbury.
  On March 19, 2015, the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Waterbury opens 
its doors to our community, unveiling recently completed upgrades. I 
was proud to help secure the $750,000 in state bonding funds for 
improvements to enhance the overall structure and amenities of the 
facility.
  For over 125 years, the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Waterbury has 
shaped successful members by fostering leadership skills, developing 
educational enrichment programs, and designing activities focused on 
health and wellbeing. The club continues to demonstrate its commitment 
to our children through a variety of invaluable programming from 
promoting a healthy lifestyle to achieving academic success.
  Thank you to the Boys & Girls Club for the countless hours you serve 
as youth advocates for children from all backgrounds. Your sense of 
purpose and passion creates an environment where boys and girls are 
welcomed for their diversity and encouraged to build strong character 
and responsible citizenship.
  The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Waterbury transforms lives by 
expanding opportunities and empowering youth. I offer my 
congratulations and sincere thanks to the Boys and Girls Club for all 
of these contributions to our community. I wish them many more years of 
continued success.
