To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 1011), to designate Wednesday, March 9, 1994, as "Children with Disabilities Day", to endorse the "B.A.C.-Coffee Day for Children with Disabilities" project, etc., respectfully

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.

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.
