Whereas, this outstanding family will soon celebrate its heritage at a family reunion; and

Whereas, Underwood descendents have achieved great success in many business endeavors, including private health nursing, textiles, and food services; and

Whereas, Underwood descendents have served in the community and State on many boards and commissions in the Chester area, including the Chester County Builders Association, Chester County Housing Authority, Chester Chamber of Commerce, Chester Hospital Board, Chester County School Board, Chester Zoning Commission, Chester Sewer District, and the boards of BB&T and First Citizens Bank; and

Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives, by this resolution, would like to publicly recognize the Underwood family and its contributions to Chester and the State of South Carolina, and wish them very success at their family reunion. Now, therefore,
