Whereas, the first two children came to live at Epworth Orphanage on January 20, 1896, which was the first day of operation of the child care facility; and
Whereas, Epworth Orphanage was chartered by the General Assembly in 1896 to care for dependent and neglected children in the State of South Carolina; and
Whereas, its name was changed to Epworth Children's Home in 1951; and
Whereas, more than eight thousand children have been cared for at Epworth Children's Home during the past one hundred years; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, would like to publicly recognize and thank this outstanding child care facility for a century of outstanding services to children, youth, and families. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly hereby commend the Epworth Children's Home of Columbia for its outstanding service to many thousands of children and families of South Carolina upon the occasion of its one hundredth year of child care.

Whereas, the number of young South Carolinians affected by cancer necessitates the need for continuing development of support groups and therapy programs to assist these young patients in coping with a difficult situation; and
Whereas, the crisis caused by a diagnosis of cancer can be lessened through therapeutic activities and support from other cancer patients; and
Whereas, The Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders of Richland Memorial Hospital is responsible for the treatment and care of adolescents with cancer and realizes that the problems and uncertainties of youth are further compounded by a diagnosis of cancer; and
Whereas, The LASTING IMPRESSIONS Support Group was developed by the Center and designed to provide an environment where adolescents can face the crisis of a cancer diagnosis and help each other deal with the problems and fears associated with cancer as well as discuss the other issues ordinarily faced by adolescents; and
Whereas, since its inception in November 1985, adolescents have received assistance in crisis resolution, community reentry, and support for long term adjustment; and
Whereas, both current and former members of The LASTING IMPRESSIONS Support Group personify the spirit of altruism, hope, and courage which should be emulated by all South Carolinians. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That Saturday, January 27, 1996, is designated as "LASTING IMPRESSIONS Day" in South Carolina.
Be it further resolved that the General Assembly extends to the members and supporters of The LASTING IMPRESSIONS Support Group its sincere wishes for continued success in its constructive and compassionate efforts on behalf of adolescents with cancer.
