                                 ______

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 29, 2015

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Bayshore 
Senior Health, Education and Recreation Center in Keansburg, New Jersey 
as it celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. The Center's efforts 
to enhance the well-being of the community's senior population is truly 
deserving of this body's recognition.
  Through its activities, workshops, outings and classes, the Bayshore 
Senior Health, Education and Recreation Center provides an opportunity 
for seniors to receive resources, information, exercise and lunches, 
but also an opportunity to give back to the community through programs 
such as Crochet for a Cause and ESL lessons. In addition, the Center's 
community involvement extends beyond its services to seniors, offering 
internship and practicum opportunities to college students pursuing 
nursing and social services degrees. Above all, the Bayshore Senior 
Health, Education and Recreation Center aims to provide a sense of 
fellowship in a safe, welcoming environment.
  Since its inception, the Bayshore Senior Health, Education and 
Recreation Center has continued to grow and transform to meet the 
changing needs of its members. Its current location was recently 
expanded and renovated to include individual rooms dedicated to 
particular activities, including a computer lab and craft room, a 
community room and an upstairs hall that can be rented out for special 
functions.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the 
Bayshore Senior Health, Education and Recreation Center on its 40th 
anniversary and thanking its staff and members for their extraordinary 
service to the community.

                          ____________________
