insurance, group accident insurance, group health insurance, Medicare 
supplements, and commercial insurance; and

Whereas, the company's 
mission is to be "the insurance agency of choice that builds customer 
relationships through honesty, integrity, and outstanding service," as stated 
in their vision statement; and

Whereas, today, C. T. 
Lowndes has seven owners: Henry H. Lowndes Jr., Billy Silcox Jr., Bill Silcox III, 
Chris Silcox, Rawlins Lowndes, Alice Lowndes Taylor, and Sarah Lowndes. 
Ownership comprises of sixth and seventh-generation members of the Lowndes 
founding family, evidence of the company's deep roots in their community; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate greatly appreciate the dedication and commitment of C. 
T. Lowndes & Company Insurance Agency 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 C. T. 
Lowndes & Company Insurance Agency upon the occasion of its one hundred 
seventy-fifth anniversary and commend the agency for its many years of 
dedicated service to the Horry County community and the people and the State of 
South Carolina.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this
