                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 29, 2001

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Clovis Senior 
Center for their work to improve the lives of senior citizens living in 
California's Central Valley.
  The Clovis Senior Center began providing services over 25 years ago, 
when they first received Federal aid for senior programs. The actual 
Clovis Senior Center facility was built 19 years ago. Lynn Bawdon has 
served as director of the Clovis Senior Center for the past 20 years. 
The center provides a wide range of programs, including nutrition 
advice, income tax assistance, social security inquiries, medical 
information, and general adult information.
  The goal of the Clovis Senior Center is to keep seniors independent 
and living in their own homes, while providing for their own needs. The 
center is ranked among the top 10 multisenior centers in the State. 
They actively pursue assistance from the State to continue providing 
the highest level of assistance for seniors.
  The Clovis Senior Center is an 11,000 square foot facility that is 
comprised of a central multipurpose room, two large classrooms, a 
commercial kitchen, two large restrooms, and two average sized 
restrooms.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the Clovis Senior Center for their 
valuable assistance to the local senior community. I urge my colleagues 
to join me in wishing the Clovis Senior Center many more years of 
continued success.
