                         Monday, June 12, 2023

  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the Mount 
Washington Valley Adult Day Center for their 100,000 hours of service 
to New Hampshire's elderly. The MWV Adult Day Center continues to serve 
as a shining example of the compassion and companionship that care 
communities strive to provide for residents. This organization 
understands the importance of treating New Hampshire seniors with the 
respect and care they deserve, and the struggles they face as they age.
  The MWV Adult Day Center holds close the importance of dignity. and 
the ability to provide joy in kind care, friendly faces, and an 
understanding of the loss and discomfort that comes with age. Their 
work honors the vital contributions of the elderly during their working 
lives, and the prominent, long-standing roles they play in their 
communities. They ensure New Hampshire seniors are treated with the 
respect and care they deserve, and emphasize the importance of 
developing social connections in retired life.
  Through therapeutic services that provide guests with support groups 
and socialization, and a wide array of creative, personalized 
activities, MWV Adult Day Center maintains the mental, physical, and 
social well-being of its seniors. It fosters vital connections among 
New Hampshire's senior population that are necessary to form systems of 
support and comfortably engage with a new community. As the importance 
of senior connections and care options grows in rural centers, the 
Adult Day Center remains integral in providing inclusive care, 
affordable pricing, and consistent ease of access to Granite Staters. 
The MWV Adult Day Center's upcoming Evening to Remember celebration of 
100,000 hours of service is a crucial milestone in a continued mission 
to further committed care for New Hampshire seniors.
  On behalf of the constituents of New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I commend them all for their dedication to providing our 
seniors with the resources they need to live comfortably and happily, 
and the tireless compassion that drives their service. I wish them all 
the best in their future endeavors.
