H. 3602
S. Printed 4/6/05--S. [SEC 4/7/05 4:24 PM]
Read the first time February 23, 2005.
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3602) to recognize the contributions that South Carolina marinas provide to our citizens and visitors in terms of recreation, rest, and relaxation and to declare August 13, 2005, etc., respectfully
That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:
CHAUNCEY K. GREGORY for Committee.
TO RECOGNIZE THE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT SOUTH CAROLINA MARINAS PROVIDE TO OUR CITIZENS AND VISITORS IN TERMS OF RECREATION, REST, AND RELAXATION AND TO DECLARE AUGUST 13, 2005, AS "NATIONAL MARINA DAY IN SOUTH CAROLINA".
Whereas, the citizens of South Carolina place a high value on our recreation time and our ability to access one of America's greatest natural resources, its waterways; and
Whereas, in 1928, the word "marina" was used for the very first time by the National Association of Engine and Boat Manufacturers to define a recreational boating facility; and
Whereas, South Carolina is home to hundreds of recreational boating facilities that contribute substantially to their communities by providing a safe, reliable gateway to boating for members of the community and welcomed guests; and
Whereas, South Carolina's marinas also serve as stewards of the environment, actively seeking to protect the surrounding waterways not only for the enjoyment of this generation, but for generations to come; and
Whereas, South Carolina's marinas also provide their communities and visitors to the State of South Carolina a place where friends and families, united by a passion for the water, can come together for recreation, rest, and relaxation; and
Whereas, South Carolina's marinas will continue to provide an environmentally friendly gateway to boating for the citizens of and the visitors to the State of South Carolina. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize the contributions that South Carolina marinas provide to our citizens and visitors in terms of recreation, rest, and relaxation and declare August 13, 2005, as "National Marina Day in South Carolina" in order to honor South Carolina's marinas for their contributions to their community and to make citizens, policymakers, and employees more aware of the overall contributions to their well-being.
