Dear Rep. Williams:

My name is Katie Sweeney. I am 10 and I am President of S.C.A.F.L., the South Carolina Association of Ferret Lovers. I have been working very hard on House Bill 4574 and Senate Bill 1248 and getting more and more support.

On Thursday, April 7, 1994, a group of us is planning on being at the Capitol to show support for my Bills. There should be at least 200 people, mostly students and kids from colleges and schools, veterinarians and others. From 9:00 to 10:00 A.M. we would like to have a coffee, juice and donuts drop-in in the Capitol Lobby for Legislators. May we?

Thanking you in advance,

Katie Sweeney
