                      Thursday, November 29, 2018

  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 30th 
Anniversary of the Road to Responsibility of Marshfield, Massachusetts.
  Road to Responsibility, a Marshfield-based nonprofit, has been 
serving our area since 1988 with the goal of ``making life better, one 
person at a time.'' This exceptional organization works to provide 
adults with disabilities the means, opportunity, and support to be 
integrated into our community. This charitable organization is made up 
of a dedicated staff working tirelessly to provide all people the 
chance to have dignified and meaningful lives.
  The celebration of the Road to Responsibility's 30th anniversary 
gives us a reason to reflect on the far-reaching impact this non-profit 
has had on the South Shore. Since its incorporation, this organization 
has provided employment services, therapy and therapeutic actives, day 
programs, and residential services. Recognizing the needs of its 
community, Road to Responsibility quickly expanded its residential 
homes and programs to serve over 1,200 individuals with disabilities 
and their families. It now proudly operates 48 residential homes and 64 
different programs across the Commonwealth, expanding its services to 
include recreational and art programs in the area of Autism services.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor the 30th Anniversary of the Road to 
Responsibility for their dedication to bettering our community and 
increasing the quality to life for people living with a disability in 
our district. I ask that my colleagues join me in thanking them for 
their invaluable service and wishing them all the best in the many 
years to come
