 A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE THE KREWE OF CHARLESTON FOR BRINGING THE GREAT
 TRADITION AND CULTURE OF MARDI GRAS TO SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO HONOR ITS
 MEMBERS FOR THEIR SUPPORT OF THE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
 CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.

   02/03/11  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 11)

TO RECOGNIZE THE KREWE OF CHARLESTON FOR BRINGING THE GREAT TRADITION AND CULTURE OF MARDI GRAS TO SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO HONOR ITS MEMBERS FOR THEIR SUPPORT OF THE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.

Whereas, on February 12, 2011, as part of its celebration of Mardi Gras, the Krewe of Charleston will host a grande ball masque at the Charleston Marriott for the benefit of the Medical University of South Carolina Children's Hospital Fund; and

Whereas, the only Mardi Gras krewe on the United States Atlantic Coast, the Krewe of Charleston was established in 2009 and, like its sister krewes, holds its grande ball masque annually; and

Whereas, presiding over this year's ball will be the krewe's royalty of 2011, King Charles II, played by John Marshall McAvoy, and the Queen of Charleston, played by Jenny Sanford, former South Carolina First Lady; and

Whereas, grateful for its fine effort to support the Medical University of South Carolina Children's Hospital Fund, the House of Representatives is pleased to commend the Krewe of Charleston and to wish its members much success in this worthy fundraising endeavor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize the Krewe of Charleston for bringing the great tradition and culture of Mardi Gras to South Carolina, and honor its members for their support of the Medical University of South Carolina Children's Hospital.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to the Krewe of Charleston.
