                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 30, 2016

  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate an 
organization in my district, Centers for Children and Families, on the 
opening of their new facility.
   Since 1957, Centers has helped strengthen individuals and families 
throughout West Texas by providing counseling for those who would 
otherwise be unable to afford these services. In addition to counseling 
services, Centers also provides assistance with life management skills, 
parenting classes, post-adoption support, and programs that help 
children have safe and positive supervised parental visits.
   As a prior Chairman of the Board for Centers, I have been fortunate 
enough to see firsthand the great work that this organization does for 
the Permian Basin community. With the opening of their new facility, 
Centers will have quality space to carry on their longstanding legacy 
of helping people get through the difficult times they may be facing. I 
wish them best of luck in their future endeavors.
