                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. NYDIA M. VELAZQUEZ

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 25, 2017

  Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate Brooklyn 
Chinese-American Association's Eighth Avenue Senior Center on over two 
decades of service to Brooklyn's seniors.
  For seniors living in the Sunset Park, Borough Park and Bay Ridge 
neighborhoods, the Eighth Avenue Senior Center has provided life 
changing support and services. From daily meals and medical screenings, 
to a variety of social events and activities, the Center undoubtedly 
enhances the quality of life for so many of our seniors.
  During the celebration, the Annual Millennial Roundtables will gather 
seniors aged 84 and above for an opportunity to socialize with each 
other. Together, the seniors who take part in this cherished tradition 
have a combined age of over 1,000 years.
  I would like to send my deepest gratitude to all those who support 
and work with BCA's Eighth Avenue Senior Center. Thanks to your hard 
work, we can all take pride in the many accomplishments this community 
hub has achieved over the last two decades. My best wishes for a 
successful event.
