A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR JEAN MARTIN FOR HER YEARS OF DEVOTED SERVICE TO THE TOWN OF BELTON.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives take great pleasure in commending those outstanding citizens of our State, such as Jean Martin, who serve their communities with dedication; and

Whereas, as a faithful businesswoman at the Jean Shoppe in Belton, she has consistently bolstered business during the difficult economic environment in the State and the nation; and

Whereas, she has served as the secretary of the Anderson County Municipal Association for five years; and

Whereas, with a strong commitment to the people of Belton, Jean Martin has served on the Belton City Ward One Council for ten years, never missing a single Town Council meeting in that time; and

Whereas, some of the Town Council's proud accomplishments during her years include the remodeling of the upstairs of the City Hall; renovation of the Public Square by removing trees and replacing all the loose bricks; renewing the landfill permit on Highway 247; contracting out the trash collection, saving the Town of Belton $3000 a year; and maintaining a balanced budget the entire time; and

Whereas, an active city council member, she formed a group of volunteers in the ward she represented on the town council to maintain the ward by picking up trash and keeping the area clean for Belton homeowners and visitors; and

Whereas, with a business on the town square, she has always participated in decorating the town for Christmas, keeping an organized accounting of what needs to be done annually; and

Whereas, Jean Martin was the first to get involved when renovations began for the Town of Belton ten years ago; and

Whereas, an avid supporter of the recreational director for the City of Belton, Scott Jones, she enrolls children and youth of all ages in various sports year round through her place of business; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the consistent contributions that Jean Martin has made to her community and for her unswerving example of dedication and service to the Town of Belton. 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 Jean Martin for her years of devoted service to the Town of Belton.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Jean Martin.
