      50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CUSTER COUNTY SENIOR CITIZEN CENTER

 Mr. ROUNDS. Madam President, today I rise to recognize the 
50th anniversary of the Custer County Senior Citizen Center in Custer, 
SD. The Custer County Senior Citizen Center has continually been a 
place of resource, entertainment, recreation, and community for the 
venerable elder citizenry of the Custer Community and southern Black 
Hills since 1971; the 50 years of success the Custer Senior Center has 
enjoyed is fully supported by the hundreds of volunteers who have 
donated thousands of hours every year for five decades to help the 
senior center thrive and grow into the valuable community resource it 
has become.
  The Custer County Senior Center provides unlimited opportunities for 
growth, prosperity, increased longevity, and improved quality of life 
to our valuable senior citizens by providing educational, cultural, 
financial, medical, intellectual, and fitness programs throughout the 
year.
  The Custer County Senior Center will continue into the next 50 years 
providing unparalleled service to the golden age population of Custer 
County, the Black Hills, and the State of South Dakota as it has done 
since its inception, with the support of the community, the members, 
the volunteers, and the dedicated staff at the center.
