A senate RESOLUTION

 

TO recognize the historic ballenger house UPON THE OCCASION OF ITS one hundredth ANNIVERSARY.

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are pleased to recognize the Historic Ballenger House in Seneca as it celebrates this important milestone; and

 

Whereas, the Ballenger House was built by Grady Woodfin and Eleanor Ballenger in 1925. The house remained in the family until 1979 when son, Woodfin (Monk) Ballenger, donated the home to the newly created Seneca Women's Club to ensure a place was available for local women's clubs to meet; and

 

Whereas, the Ballenger House was partially renovated in 1979 and entirely redecorated in 2004 for the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Seneca Women's Club. In 2019, a bedroom upstairs was made into a conference room, and the main floor Magnolia room has tables set up for up to forty-eight people; and

 

Whereas, the Seneca Women's Club consists of volunteers who raise funds to maintain the Historic Ballenger House and to support events for children; and

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate greatly appreciate the dedication and commitment of the Historic Bellenger House and the Seneca Women's Club to serving the people and the State of South Carolina.  Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the Senate:

 

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate the Historic Ballenger House upon the occasion of its one hundredth anniversary.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Seneca Women's Club.
