DECLARING MAY, 1998, SENIOR CITIZENS MONTH IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND CALLING UPON ALL SOUTH CAROLINIANS TO ATTEND OBSERVANCES OF SENIOR CITIZENS MONTH IN ORDER TO SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION FOR AND GRATITUDE TO OUR STATE'S SENIORS.
Whereas, South Carolina's senior citizens constitute a vibrant cohort vital to the state's progress; and
Whereas, the skills and experience of the state's seniors provide an essential element of balance and discipline in a time when technological progress threatens to outstrip our abilities to manage such change successfully; and
Whereas, all of us are temporal immigrants in our beloved State and county, who have learned those values that ensure that we survive and thrive to enjoy our freedom only because seniors have shared with and instilled in us the requirements necessary to be good citizens; and
Whereas, among the highest priorities in making the inevitable choices that must be made by elected officials are programs and policies directed at easing the special problems of our seniors, including economic security and adequate health care; and
Whereas, it is appropriate for members of the General Assembly to set aside a month during which special efforts can be made and observances held to recognize our seniors. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly by this resolution declares May, 1998, as Senior Citizens Month and calls upon all South Carolinians to attend observances of Senior Citizens Month in order to show their appreciation for and gratitude to our state's seniors.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mr. Jim Millsap, President, South Carolina State Council of Senior Citizens, Inc., 1762 Timber Bay Drive, Cottageville, SC 29435.
