A senate RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND CONGRATULATE THE 
DOGWOOD GARDEN CLUB OF HONEA PATH UPON THE OCCASION OF ITS EIGHTY-FIFTH 
ANNIVERSARY AND TO EXPRESS DEEP APPRECIATION FOR THE CLUB'S PRESERVATION OF THE 
TOWN'S HORTICULTURAL LEGACY AND FOR THE CONTRIBUTION OF ITS MEMBERS OVER THE 
YEARS TO HONEA PATH'S NATURAL BEAUTY.

Whereas, organized on September 27, 1940, at the Honea Path 
Vocational Building, the fledgling Dogwood Garden Club held its first meeting 
presided over by the Lions' auxiliary president, Mrs. Joe N. Pinson. She was 
assisted by a committee composed of Mrs. E.R. Donnald, Mrs. Garrison Cox, and 
Mrs. J.W. Haynie, who had made interesting plans for the gathering. Founding 
officers were Mrs. M.B. Wright, president; Mrs. J.R. Donnald Jr., vice 
president; Mrs. J.W. Haynie, secretary; Mrs. W.E. Dunn, treasurer; and Miss 
Hazel Shirley, corresponding secretary; and

Whereas, in reflecting on its many achievements, the club, an 
affiliate of the Garden Club of South Carolina Inc. considers the creation of 
Dogwood Park in Honea Path as one of its most outstanding projects. The plan 
was initiated under the leadership of Lucille Shirley (president, 1963), and 
the completed park was dedicated on May 29, 1963; and

Whereas, now led by Judy Young, the group's current president, the 
Dogwood Garden Club enjoys a roster of nineteen members, some with more than 
twenty years of service to the organization. The club will mark its 
eighty-fifth anniversary with a special celebration on January 20, 2026; and

Whereas, the mission of the Dogwood Garden Club is the same today as 
it was eighty-five years ago: to provide educational experiences for all club 
members and community citizens so as to develop a love for all forms of 
gardening while creating interest in civic beautification; and

Whereas, the club's worthy objectives are to encourage civic beauty 
and civic pride; protect and conserve the area's natural resources; support the 
improvement of local parks; encourage children, youth, and seniors to love 
gardening; and to learn more about gardening, landscaping, horticulture, floral 
design, and wildlife; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate values the Dogwood Garden Club of 
Honea Path as a legacy club blessed with a distinguished heritage and with 
members who are stewards of cherished traditions held in trust for future 
gardeners. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, 
by this resolution, recognize and congratulate the Dogwood Garden Club of Honea 
Path upon the occasion of its eighty-fifth anniversary and express deep 
appreciation for the club's preservation of the town's horticultural legacy and 
for the contribution of its members over the years to Honea Path's natural 
beauty.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 
the Dogwood Garden Club of Honea Path.
