A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

DECLARING APRIL 5, 1992, AS "SELF-ESTEEM ENRICHMENT DAY" IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA IN RECOGNITION OF THE LINKS, INC. NATIONAL PROJECT TO PROMOTE AND BUILD SELF-ESTEEM.

Whereas, The Links, Inc., was organized in 1946 as a community service organization and today has a membership of over eight thousand women with two hundred forty-five chapters in the United States, including the District of Columbia, and in Nassau, The Bahamas, and Frankfurt, Germany; and

Whereas, The Links, Inc., recognizes that self-esteem/self-concept issues lie at the very root of alcohol and other drug problems, teenage pregnancy, the school drop-out rate, and gang-related violence -- all of which has a very negative impact on youth; and

Whereas, Operation SEED (Self-Esteem Enrichment Day) is an attempt to support and strengthen The Links, Inc.'s national project, LEAD (Links Erase Alcohol and Drugs), which began in 1985; and

Whereas, this effort is highly deserving of commendation and support and is worthy of the undivided attention and interest of every South Carolinian. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution and on behalf of the citizens of this State, proudly joins in The Links, Inc.'s national observance by declaring April 5, 1992, as "Self-Esteem Enrichment Day" in the Palmetto State in recognition of the outstanding efforts of this exemplary organization to promote and build self-esteem.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the president of The Links, Inc.
