TO RECOGNIZE THE THOUSANDS OF SOUTH CAROLINIANS WHO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME THROUGH THE ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY PROGRAM TO KEEP MILES OF STATE ROADS LITTER FREE AND TO PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF MAY 2019 AS ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY MONTH IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, since 1987, volunteers have contributed countless hours to the Adopt-A-Highway program throughout the Palmetto State, which is now part of the PalmettoPride Pickup program; and
Whereas, in 2018 alone, 21,005 Adopt-A-Highway volunteers from 1,574 groups picked up almost 1,100,000 pounds of litter from 4,375 miles of state roads; and
Whereas, the value of their volunteer time provided almost six million dollars of service to the State of South Carolina; and
Whereas, like all bad habits, littering is costly and detracts from community safety, economic development, and the health of the environment; and
Whereas, every year Adopt-A-Highway recognizes volunteers who make a significant impact on their communities through their efforts to curb the deleterious impact of litter. The Adopt-A-Highway 2018 Coordinator of the Year is Ernestine M. Williams from Georgetown County; and
Whereas, the Group of the Year for District One is the Lee Central High School Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps in Lee County; the District Two Volunteer of the Year is Ron Alexander from Abbeville County; District Three Group of the Year is Delta Sigma Theta in Greenville County; District Four Group of the Year is Minter Road Crew in Chester County; District Five Group of the Year is Sandridge Community in Williamsburg County; District Six Group of the Year is Grays Girls in Jasper County; and District Seven Group of the Year is Jordan Methodist Church in Clarendon County; and
Whereas, Jasper County's Grays Girls was the group of volunteers additionally chosen as the state's Adopt-A-Highway Group of the Year; and
Whereas, the State of South Carolina acknowledges and extends deep gratitude to the army of volunteers who give innumerable hours to curb litter through Adopt-A-Highway; and
Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly commends the Adopt-A-Highway program and applauds the volunteers who make a significant contribution to reducing litter throughout the Palmetto State. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize the thousands of South Carolinians who volunteer their time through the Adopt-A-Highway program to keep miles of state roads litter free and proclaim the month of May 2019 as Adopt-A-Highway Month in the State of South Carolina.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Sarah R. Lyles, Executive Director of PalmettoPride.
