Whereas, the members of South Carolina General Assembly are pleased to learn that Willie C. "Booty" Shelley, Jr., has been honored for two and a half decades of dedicated service to the Murrells Inlet-Garden City Fire District (MIGCFD) with Life Membership in the district; and
Whereas, nominations are evaluated by the Chief of the Fire District and recommended to the Board of Directors for their approval, and honorees receive plaques at the Annual Awards Banquet; and
Whereas, all inductees must have been an active member for at least fifteen consecutive years and at least fifty-five years of age, having demonstrated outstanding service to their community and to the Fire District during that time; and
Whereas, for twenty-five years, Mr. Shelley has served as a member of the MIGCFD board of directors, representing Georgetown County, and he was elected to serve as the board's secretary/treasurer; and
Whereas, a successful businessman in Murrells Inlet, he provided vital leadership to the MIGCFD during several years of rapid growth when the district expanded from two fire stations with five full-time members per shift to four fire stations and eighteen full-time members per shift; and
Whereas, in 2015, Mr. Shelley and the board were successful in realizing the first millage increase the district had seen in twenty-three years; and
Whereas, the General Assembly appreciates the genuine concern that Booty Shelley has provided for the MIGCFD, for its employees and volunteers, and for the people who live, work, and visit there, and the members celebrate his recognition as a Lifetime Member of the district. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
