A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
TO DESIGNATE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 1994, AS
"CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES DAY", TO ENDORSE THE

Whereas, Life Abilities has again embarked upon its most worthwhile
project to raise funds for children with disabilities, culminating in the
forty-second annual "B.A.C.-Coffee Day for Children with
Disabilities" in South Carolina on Good Friday, April 1, 1994; and
Whereas, under the statewide leadership of Edwin W. Fisher, State Life
Abilities President, ably assisted by Captain James Braddock of the South
Carolina Highway Patrol who is State President of the South Carolina Law
Enforcement Officers Association, John L. Caudle, II, Executive Director
of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Officers Association, Thomas L.
Sponseller, Executive Director of the South Carolina Restaurant
Association, and Skip Condon, State President of the South Carolina
Restaurant Association, this program is destined to raise thousands of
dollars to aid our very deserving children and assist them in overcoming
their disabilities; and
Whereas, the "B.A.C." buttons go on sale Wednesday, March
16, 1994; and
Whereas, the "B.A.C." project and all other programs of Life
Abilities deserve the support, merit, and praise of all citizens of the State.
Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That Wednesday, March 16, 1994, is designated "Children with
Disabilities Day" in South Carolina and that Mark Thigpen, son of the
Reverend and Mrs. Paul D. Thigpen of Darlington County; Zach Hopkins,

Assembly, along with their parents in a joint session in the Hall of the
House of Representatives on Wednesday, March 16, 1994.
Be it further resolved that the General Assembly extends to Life Abilities
and its many dedicated supporters its sincere wishes for continued success
in its many constructive and compassionate programs on behalf of persons
with disabilities.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the
executive director of Life Abilities, for distribution to the state chairmen
