A senate RESOLUTION
TO CONGRATULATE Our Lady Star of the Sea Ladies
guild upon the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary and to commend the Guild
for its many years of dedicated service to the people and the State of South
Carolina.
Whereas, the members of
the South Carolina Senate are pleased to recognize Our Lady Star of the Sea
Ladies Guild at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church in North Myrtle Beach as
it celebrates this important milestone; and
Whereas, Our Lady Star
of the Sea Ladies Guild is a valued member of the North Myrtle Beach community
that does a great deal of good throughout the region; and
Whereas, through the
fundraising efforts of the Our Lady Star of the Sea Ladies Guild, yearly
support is provided to over twenty-five charities. The guild focuses donations
on support for unborn children through Grand Strand Citizens for Life; rape
victims through the Rape Crisis Center; sufferers of domestic abuse through the
Family Justice Center; single, widowed, or divorced men through A Father's
Place; and foster children through Julie's Kids; and
Whereas, for
approximately forty years, seven days a week, volunteers from the Ladies Guild
have operated a religious shop and book center in the church to foster
spiritual growth in parishioners, visitors, and those of other faiths; and
Whereas, the Ladies
Guild Prayer Shawl Ministry has provided thousands of handmade hats, scarves,
and blankets to men, women, and children in need, as well as lap blankets for
nursing homes and the sick, including those suffering from Alzheimer's disease;
and
Whereas, since 2006,
the guild has maintained relationships with local nursing homes. Through visits
that include craft activities, dance parties, and ongoing correspondence with
individual residents, guild members foster friendships with elder community
members who have sometimes been forgotten; and
Whereas, the Ladies
Guild also supports and honors American military veterans through the Quilts of
Valor program, the Veterans Welcome Home program, and by providing handmade
comforters for forty tiny homes for veterans in Myrtle Beach; and
Whereas, for the past
twenty years, the guild has provided three to six one-thousand-dollar
scholarships yearly to children in their parish who need financial assistance.
These acts of charity are but a sampling of the devoted service that members of
the guild offer to their community; and
Whereas, the members of
the South Carolina Senate greatly appreciate the dedication and commitment of Our
Lady Star of the Sea Ladies Guild to serving the people and the State of South
Carolina.  Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution,
congratulate Our Lady Star of the Sea Ladies Guild upon the occasion of its fiftieth
anniversary and commend the guild for its many years of dedicated service to
the people and the State of South Carolina.
Be it further resolved
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the members of the Our Lady Star
of the Sea Catholic Church Ladies Guild and the pastor of the church, Reverend
John M. Zimmerman.
