Whereas, the members of the Walhalla Woman's Club are dedicated and enthusiastic advocates for preserving the natural splendor of our State; and

Whereas, one of their primary environmental concerns is the proliferation of waste in South Carolina, especially the increasing use of plastic shopping bags that do not biodegrade; and

Whereas, grateful for this important work of the Walhalla Woman's Club, the South Carolina House of Representatives takes great pleasure in recognizing its members, encouraging them to continue their excellent efforts, and wishing them well in their campaign. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
