TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND OLIVIA "LIV" MCCONNELL OF NEW ZION FOR HER OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY SERVICE AND TO CONGRATULATE HER UPON BEING NAMED A 2016 PRUDENTIAL SPIRIT OF COMMUNITY AWARD DISTINGUISHED FINALIST.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are delighted to learn that Olivia "Liv" McConnell of Clarendon County has been selected a 2016 Prudential Spirit of Community Award Distinguished Finalist; and

In receiving this award, the fifth-grader at The Carolina Academy has achieved national recognition for her exemplary volunteer service; and
