A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND CONGRATULATE THE SALTWATER SPORTS CLUB ON THE OCCASION OF THEIR 40TH ANNIVERSARY AND TO WISH THEM MUCH SUCCESS IN ALL THEIR FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the Saltwater Sports Club was organized on March 15, 1976 by a group of eleven individuals from James Island looking to form an outboard/fishing club. The club now has twenty-five members; and

Whereas, the group's purpose is to promote and further saltwater sport fishing, to educate people interested in saltwater sports, and to promote the protection of natural saltwater environments; and

Whereas, in 1976, the club held a large turkey shoot to get started financially. In 1979, they held an all-day clean-up of Charleston Harbor and the surrounding marshes; and

Whereas, for ten years, the club hosted a member and guest golf tournament, and for twenty-two years they held the Jenkins Point Skeet Shoot, where they had over two hundred in attendance each year. They held activities for their membership for thirty-five years; and

Whereas, the club has both financially and through volunteer work supported Windwood Farm for Children, the SC Department of Natural Resources (Tag & Release Program), MUSC Children's Hospital, Pet Helpers, My Sister's House, American Red Cross, Trident Fishing Tournament, and Save the Light through their activities; and

Whereas, the club is best known for its Alison Oswald, Sr., Memorial Fishing Tournament, which ran for thirty-five years and drew 350 to 400 participants each year, and more than 500 on three occasions; and

Whereas, the Senate is grateful for the dedication and hard work the members of the Saltwater Sports Club have given to the citizens of James Island and surrounding areas and the members wish them continued success in all of their activities. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate, by this resolution, recognize and congratulate the Saltwater Sports Club on the occasion of their 40th anniversary and wish them much success in all their future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Saltwater Sports Club.
