  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the Semicentennial 
of the Wood County Committee on Aging. For five decades, the Committee 
has been dedicated to service, community, and care for all seniors in 
Wood County. The hard work and spirit shown by staff at the Committee 
have made it possible for countless older adults to remain independent 
and improve their quality of life.
  Founded in 1975, the Wood County Committee on Aging was established 
to provide comprehensive services to the county's seniors. These 
services have grown over the decades to include programs for home-
delivered meals, medical transportation, health and wellness 
initiatives, caregiver support, and much more. With senior centers 
across the county, the Committee has been able to help elderly adults 
and their families navigate the challenges that can arise while aging.
  Mr. Speaker, by celebrating the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Wood 
County Committee on Aging, the county can recognize the outstanding 
achievements of the staff and pride the patrons have for their senior 
centers. I congratulate the Committee on Aging on this momentous 
milestone. I thank them for all they do for our county's seniors.
