A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO FIX 11:15 A.M. ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1995, AS THE TIME FOR MR. JOHN MARK MCQUOWN TO SING BEFORE THE SENATE.

Whereas, March 1995 is being observed as National Mental Retardation Month; and

Whereas, in special recognition of this month, the Senate acknowledges the devoted efforts of the Emerald Center in Greenwood, South Carolina, a center which serves individuals with disabilities and special needs in Abbeville, Edgefield, McCormick, Saluda, and Greenwood counties; and

Whereas, Mr. John Mark McQuown, a 29-year-old native of Greenwood and a student of the Emerald Center, is an upstanding citizen and outstanding individual, who is a participant in the Competitive Employment Program, where he works and assists other individuals at the Emerald Center; and

Whereas, Mr. McQuown is a member of the First Presbyterian Church Choir in Greenwood where he takes voice and piano lessons and enjoys sharing his love for music with others; and

Whereas, Mr. McQuown has worked diligently to hone his God-given talents, and many musical gifts; and

Whereas, it is appropriate to recognize and honor such an individual who serves as an inspiration to each of us, bringing beautiful music to all those around him. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That in recognition of National Mental Retardation Month, at the request of Senator John Drummond and with approval from the Senate Invitations Committee as provided in the Senate Rules, Mr. John Mark McQuown is granted the privilege of singing a song from the Senate podium at 11:15 a.m. on Wednesday, March 15, 1995.
