S. Printed 2/3/10--S.
Read the first time January 27, 2010.
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 4426) to designate June 12, 2010, as "National Marina Day in South Carolina" in order to honor South Carolina's marinas for their contributions to the community and to educate politicians, etc., respectfully
That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:
RONNIE W. CROMER for Committee.
TO DESIGNATE JUNE 12, 2010, AS "NATIONAL MARINA DAY IN SOUTH CAROLINA" IN ORDER TO HONOR SOUTH CAROLINA'S MARINAS FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO EDUCATE POLITICIANS, CIVIC LEADERS, AND THE PUBLIC ON THE MANY AND VARIED CONTRIBUTIONS OF MARINAS AND THE IMPORTANT ROLE THEY PLAY AS FAMILY-FRIENDLY GATEWAYS TO BOATING, AND TO REQUEST THAT OUR STATE JOIN HANDS WITH OTHER STATES AND THOUSANDS OF WATERFRONT COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES IN CELEBRATING THIS DAY.
Whereas, the citizens of South Carolina place a high value on recreation time and the 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 boating environment 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 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, marinas will continue to provide an environmentally friendly gateway to boating for the citizens and the visitors of the State of South Carolina; and
Whereas, to shed a deserving light on the marinas' prominent role in South Carolina, June 12, 2010, should mark "National Marina Day in South Carolina". Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, designate June 12, 2010, as "National Marina Day in South Carolina" in order to honor South Carolina's marinas for their contributions to the community and to educate politicians, civic leaders, and the public on the many and varied contributions of marinas and the important role they play as family-friendly gateways to boating, and request that our State join hands with other states and thousands of waterfront communities across the United States in celebrating this day.
