                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 24, 2017

  Mr. KATKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Central New 
York Chinese Culture Center's new Rock Center facility in Syracuse, New 
York.
  The CNY Chinese Culture Center plans to reopen the former Rockefeller 
United Methodist Church building as the Rock Center on July 22, 2017. 
The building has undergone significant renovations, but the structure's 
architectural character and history have been preserved to help 
facilitate the cultural exchanges that will occur at the Rock Center. 
The CNY Chinese Culture Center's hope for the Rock Center is to 
continue serving the Syracuse University and DeWitt communities with a 
wide array of programs, classes, and clubs.
  Over the years, the CNY Chinese Culture Center has become a driving 
force in the Syracuse community, utilizing grassroots efforts to 
introduce Chinese heritage and culture to our community and foster 
cultural exchange. I am proud to recognize the grand opening of the CNY 
Chinese Center's Rock Center and I wish this outstanding organization 
continued success in the years to come.
