 A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO EXTEND THE SINCERE GRATITUDE OF THE HOUSE OF
 REPRESENTATIVES TO MRS. MERLE DAVIS BAXLEY, MOTHER OF REPRESENTATIVE MIKE
 BAXLEY OF HARTSVILLE, FOR HER THOUGHTFULNESS IN BAKING COOKIES FOR THE MEMBERS
 EACH WEEK DURING THE SESSION.

   05/15/97  House  Introduced and adopted HJ-24

TO EXTEND THE SINCERE GRATITUDE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO MRS. MERLE DAVIS BAXLEY, MOTHER OF REPRESENTATIVE MIKE BAXLEY OF HARTSVILLE, FOR HER THOUGHTFULNESS IN BAKING COOKIES FOR THE MEMBERS EACH WEEK DURING THE SESSION.

Whereas, Mrs. Merle Baxley is the mother of Representative Mike Baxley of Hartsville; and

Whereas, Representative Baxley has served in the South Carolina House of Representatives since 1987; and

Whereas, for ten years Mrs. Baxley has proudly observed as her son and the other members of the House have dutifully and honorably served the people of the State of South Carolina; and

Whereas, Mrs. Baxley knows, as does any mother, that profound thought and aggressive debate must be fueled constantly; and

Whereas, she desires to do her part in assuring that the House of Representatives continues to be an effective and vital voice for the people of this State; and

Whereas, toward that end she kindly bakes cookies for the House members during the session, giving them the energy to continue their proud service and reminding them that there is a warm welcoming kitchen somewhere outside the awesome walls of the House Chamber. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That members of the House of Representatives extend their sincere gratitude to Mrs. Merle Davis Baxley, mother of Representative Mike Baxley of Hartsville, for her thoughtfulness in baking cookies for them each week during the session.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mrs. Baxley.
