Dear Rep. Williams:
The South Carolina Society of Professional Engineers and the Consulting Engineers of South Carolina were pleased to honor the members of the South Carolina General Assembly on the evening of January 12, 1994. The reception was held at the Columbia Museum of Art, 1112 Bull Street in Columbia, South Carolina from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M.
The event was a pleasant affair, and we believe an excellent way to begin the legislative session for the legislators as well as the members of the two engineering societies. For this reason, we would like to request the same date on next year's legislative Calendar. The first Wednesday evening of the legislative session next year is January 11, 1995. Similar arrangements have been made for the 1995 reception.
The reception is scheduled for January 11, 1995, at 6:00 P.M. at the Columbia Museum of Art, 1112 Bull Street, Columbia, South Carolina. Invitations are being mailed to the legislators during December to their home addresses, and we would appreciate your announcing the event on the legislative Calendar.
Thank you for the opportunity the Invitations Committee affords the professional societies and the general public for meeting with the Senators and Representatives to express their concerns.
Sincerely,
Vicki T. Ido
Administrative Assistant
