A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO COMMEMORATE THE CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITED PARCEL SERVICE OF AMERICA AND TO RECOGNIZE ITS MANY LASTING CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, on August 28, 2007, the United Parcel Service (UPS) will celebrate its one hundredth anniversary; and

Whereas, the corporation has served South Carolina since February 1967 and today employs over 5,700 South Carolinians and operates 36 facilities across the state; and

Whereas, UPS executes many large operations from South Carolina locations, including its southeast regional air operation from the Columbia airport, its brokerage operation in Aiken, its regional call and sales center in Greenville, and its corporate billing/cash on delivery site in Columbia; and

Whereas, each day, over 90,000 businesses and citizens of South Carolina utilize the express delivery and specialized transportation and logistics services offered by UPS; and

Whereas, connecting people, communities, and businesses, UPS delivers more than 195,000 packages each day to customers across South Carolina; and

Whereas, the expansive transportation network synchronizes global commerce by providing services to connect South Carolina to more than 200 foreign countries; and

Whereas, UPS has contributed more than 1.9 million dollars to philanthropic endeavors in the state of South Carolina since 1995, reflecting the company's emphasis on community service and citizenship; and

Whereas, UPS will undoubtedly continue to have a strong impact on the South Carolina economy and will continue to grow in importance to our state by cultivating deep partnerships with the communities it serves. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, commemorate the centennial anniversary of the United Parcel Service of America and recognize its many lasting contributions to the state of South Carolina.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the United Parcel Service.
