TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE 2011 RITTER FAMILY REUNION AND TO CONGRATULATE THE FAMILY MEMBERS UPON THE OCCASION OF THEIR FIFTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL GATHERING.

Whereas, in a time when mobility and displacement from family roots make family relationships more difficult to sustain, the South Carolina Senate takes great pleasure in commending the efforts of the Ritter Family Reunion to maintain family identity and fellowship as they reunite on July 21-24, 2011; and

Whereas, hosted by the South Carolina chapter, the event will welcome family members from Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, Orangeburg, Denmark, and Richland counties in the Palmetto State, as well as members hailing from chapters in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and York, Pennsylvania; Trenton, New Jersey; and Brooklyn, New York; and

Whereas, the six branches of the Ritter family will gather at the Sands Resort in Myrtle Beach for the occasion; and

Whereas, the Senate is grateful for the legacy of the Ritter family, and the members extend a warm welcome to South Carolina to those family members visiting from out of state. To all the Ritters, the Senate wishes much happiness as they experience the blessings of their fifty-eighth family reunion. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and honor the 2011 Ritter Family Reunion and congratulate the family members upon the occasion of their fifty-eighth annual gathering.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to the Ritter Family Reunion.
