                        Friday, October 12, 2018

  Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute Brooklyn Chinese-
American Association's Eighth Avenue Senior Center on the milestone of 
twenty-five years of service to Brooklyn's senior community.
  For seniors living in the Sunset Park, Borough Park and Bay Ridge 
communities of Brooklyn, the Center provides life-changing services 
such as daily meals, medical checkups and screenings as well as 
educational workshops. On an average day, the Center offers services to 
over 250 seniors and has memberships of over 5,000 seniors.
  As a part of this cherished celebration, the Center will host their 
Annual Millennial Roundtables, which places 12 seniors, aged 84 or 
older, at each table, making up a combined age of over 1,000 years.
  I would like to express my profound appreciation to all the staff and 
community at BCA's Eighth Avenue Senior Center. We are all proud of the 
work this community hub has accomplished over the last twenty-five 
years. My best wishes for a successful event.

                          ____________________
