   04/05/11  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 3)

TO HONOR THE AUCTIONEERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, TO COMMEND THEM ON THE IMPORTANT SERVICES THEY PROVIDE TO THE CITIZENS OF THIS GREAT STATE, AND TO JOIN WITH OUR SISTER STATES IN RECOGNIZING SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 2011, AS NATIONAL AUCTIONEERS DAY.

Whereas, the auction of real and personal property being a beneficial marketing tool for free enterprise in the United States and the world, the National Auctioneers Association's members strive to foster free enterprise through their profession; and

Whereas, association members tirelessly support their communities and local businesses through conducting auctions, contributing to charities, and facilitating other endeavors; and

Whereas, the National Auctioneers Association seeks to establish and uphold the highest standards of professionalism for its members in serving the American public; and

Whereas, one of America's oldest professions, auctioneering continues to grow. Auctions thrive in today's economy, with approximately a quarter trillion dollars in goods and assets sold annually at live auction in the United States. On the lawn or online, buyers and sellers use the auction method of marketing to buy and sell real estate, personal property, business assets, antiques, art, automobiles, livestock, and much more; and

Whereas, the third Saturday of April marks a special day in the lives of auctioneers throughout the United States, National Auctioneers Day. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor the auctioneers of South Carolina, commend them on the important services they provide to the citizens of this great State, and join with our sister states in recognizing Saturday, April 16, 2011, as National Auctioneers Day.
