TO DESIGNATE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1991, AS "CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES DAY", TO ENDORSE THE "B.A.C.-COFFEE DAY FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES" PROJECT AND OTHER OUTSTANDING PROGRAMS OF THE EASTER SEAL SOCIETY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO PROVIDE FOR A JOINT SESSION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AT 12:00 NOON ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1991, AT WHICH TIME THE STATE EASTER SEAL REPRESENTATIVES OR AMBASSADORS AND THEIR PARENTS WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Whereas, the Easter Seal Society has again embarked upon its most worthwhile project to raise funds for children with disabilities, culminating in the thirty-ninth annual "B.A.C.-Coffee Day for Children with Disabilities" in South Carolina on Good Friday, March 29, 1991; and
Whereas, under the statewide leadership of P. Charles LaRosa, Jr., State Easter Seal President, and Allen P. Corbett, State Campaign Chairman, ably assisted by Major John B. Lee, III, State President, Lieutenant Colonel Alton T. Morris, "B.A.C." Project Chairman and John L. Caudle, II, Executive Director, all from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Officers' Association, and Thomas L. Sponseller, Executive Director, Harold L. Corley, "B.A.C." Project Chairman, and J. Ryan Condon, President, from 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 on Friday, March 15, 1991; and
Whereas, the "B.A.C." project and all other programs of the Easter Seal Society deserve the support, merit, and praise of all citizens of the State. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That Wednesday, March 13, 1991, is designated "Children With Disabilities Day" in South Carolina and that Sammy Etheredge, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Williams of Saluda County; Anthony Gregg, son of Julius Gregg and Vera Burns of Charleston County; Brooks W. Kay, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Kay of Anderson County; Ainesley Lowrimore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lowrimore of Georgetown County; Emily Anne Mason, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Harrington of Beaufort County; and John Smith, young adult of Richland County, who have been chosen to serve as State Easter Seal Ambassadors to represent all of our people with disabilities, be presented to the General Assembly, along with their parents, in a joint session in the Hall of the House of Representatives on Wednesday, March 13, 1991.
Be it further resolved that the General Assembly extends to the Easter Seal Society and its many dedicated supporters its sincere wishes for continued success in its many constructive and compassionate programs on behalf of people with disabilities.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Herman L. Shealy, Jr., Executive Director of the Easter Seal Society, for distribution to the state chairmen of the various phases of the Easter Seal campaign and the "B.A.C." project, as well as to the State Easter Seal Representatives themselves.
