A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO COMMEND ROBERT RABON, HORRY COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY CHAIRMAN AND COASTAL CAROLINA UNIVERSITY TRUSTEE, FOR HIS INSTRUMENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN BRINGING THE 2008 REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE TO MYRTLE BEACH.

Whereas, Robert Rabon, Horry County Republican Party chairman and Coastal Carolina University trustee, has helped to put South Carolina in the national spotlight through his instrumental involvement in bringing the 2008 Republican Presidential Debate to Myrtle Beach; and

Whereas, realizing that Myrtle Beach was ideal for the event, he persisted in presenting the city as such, and, overcoming various obstacles, he contributed indispensably to winning the privilege of hosting the debate for the city; and

Whereas, Rabon was able to show decision makers that no hurdle was too high for the hub of the Grand Strand to overcome in order to host the debate; and

Whereas, in addition, he showcased Myrtle Beach as the most flexible site, one with multiple venues, thousands of available hotel rooms, and the ability to alter plans if the dates of the event changed; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives is pleased to acknowledge the labors of those who bring South Carolina deserved praise and recognition, and the members with gratitude salute Robert Rabon for helping to add so worthy a laurel to the Palmetto State's achievements. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, commend Robert Rabon, Horry County Republican Party chairman and Coastal Carolina University trustee, for his instrumental involvement in bringing the 2008 Republican Presidential Debate to Myrtle Beach.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Robert Rabon.
