To honor the Sandy Run Ruritan Club and Mr. Howard Pees for sponsoring the annual "Liberty Day at the State House" for the Students of Sandy Run Elementary School and to recognize the value of the learning opportunity they provide to the students.

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are proud to recognize the Sandy Run Ruritan Club and Mr. Howard Pees, chairman of the Sandy Run Ruritan Club's Citizenship and Patriotism Committee, for sponsoring the annual "Liberty Day at the State House" for the students of Sandy Run Elementary School; and

 

Whereas, the Sandy Run Ruritan Club has been sponsoring the annual "Liberty Day at the State House" for over thirty years. For over the last ten years, Mr. Pees has been the driving force behind the event; and

 

Whereas, "Liberty Day at the State House" provides the students of Sandy Run Elementary School with a valuable chance to discover the inner workings of the State House. The students visit the State House, sit in the House gallery to watch the House proceedings, are given a tour, and meet their House Representative for questions and answers. As keepsakes, the students are given copies of booklets containing information about the legislative process, the Mace of the House of Representatives, State symbols, and State emblems; and

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor the Sandy Run Ruritan Club and Mr. Howard Pees for sponsoring the annual "Liberty Day at the State House" for the students of Sandy Run Elementary School and recognize the value of the learning opportunity they provide to students.
