VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE EMPLOYEES OF COMCAST OF CHARLESTON FOR TEN YEARS OF DEDICATED VOLUNTEER SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE OUTSTANDING EFFORTS OF COMCAST CARES DAY.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to learn that more than two hundred local Comcast employees and their families and friends volunteered to improve the Jenkins Institute for Children as part of Comcast Cares Day on April 30, 2011; and
Whereas, one of the largest single days of corporate volunteer efforts nationwide, this annual day of service generated more than sixty-two thousand Comcast volunteers all across the country; and
Whereas, since it began in 2001, Comcast employees, their families, and their friends have dedicated over two million hours of service, and the company has committed more than ten million dollars in grants to organizations nationally; and
Whereas, Comcast Cares Day enables Comcast to empower dreams and to demonstrate a year-round commitment to making a difference in the communities it serves; and
Whereas, ten years ago, the Jenkins Institute for Children was the designated site for Charleston's first Comcast Cares Day when employees and their families and friends came together to build a softball field to serve the children of the institute; and
Whereas, a campus-beautification project of the ninety-three-acre facility occupied the volunteers this year, which included planting shrubs, flowers, and other plants; tree trimming; restoring the picnic area, basketball tables, volleyball court, softball field, and softball dugouts; repairing damaged picnic tables; replacing campus signage; and organizing donated items; and
Whereas, throughout the ten years of Comcast Cares Day, the employees of Comcast in Charleston have chosen projects across the Lowcountry where their skills, talents, and compassion can have a significant impact; and
Whereas, the return to the Jenkins Institute for Children celebrated a decade of giving back to the community and enabled the volunteers to accomplish all their projects aimed at making this historic place that cares for our children a better place to live; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the active community service that Comcast and its employees provide across this great State and for the example that Comcast sets in volunteerism. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the employees of Comcast of Charleston for ten years of dedicated volunteer service to the community through the outstanding efforts of Comcast Cares Day.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Charleston employees of Comcast.
