A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND 
HONOR THE AIKEN COUNTY MINISTERS' WIVES AND MINISTERS' WIDOWS ALLIANCE AS THE ORGANIZATION 
HOSTS THE 81ST ANNUAL STATE CONFERENCE AND TO CONGRATULATE THE MEMBERS FOR MORE 
THAN EIGHT DECADES OF SERVICE IN THEIR CHURCHES AND COMMUNITIES AROUND THE 
STATE.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn the Aiken County Ministers' 
Wives and Ministers' Widows Alliance will host the 81st Annual South Carolina Association 
of Ministers' Wives and Ministers' Widows (SCAMWMW) State Conference; and

Whereas, although no 
formal documentation of the Aiken County Ministers' Wives and Ministers' Widows 
Alliance's history exists prior to 1982, the history written in 1982 recognizes 
that the alliance was organized around 1934 at the home of Mrs. Mamie Holland. 
The Ministers' Wives and Ministers' Widows Alliance of Aiken County has a history 
of love and service for the interests of the community, mission work, and 
support of those in distress; and

Whereas, the training 
and fellowship offered by the alliance has allowed all members to use their 
talents to support each other, the community, their churches, and their husbands. 
The purpose of the organization is to unite ministers' wives and widows of 
various Christian denominations into a fellowship for effective service in the 
community and emphasizes training, fellowship, and the talents of its members 
to support each other and their churches; and

Whereas, donations and 
volunteer services have been rendered to such organizations as Morris College, 
Special Olympics, Helping Hands, Hope Health, Edgefield County Churches Helping 
Others, and Area Churches Together Serving. The alliance has helped 
individuals, including sick members and bereaved families, three families of 
the Graniteville train derailment incident, and a woman mauled by a pit bull on 
the way to church on Easter Sunday; and

Whereas, the South Carolina 
House of Representatives values the hope and service offered by the members of 
the Aiken County Ministers' Wives and Ministers' Widows Alliance and 
congratulates them on the continuation of their significant contributions. Now, 
therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, recognize and honor the Aiken County Ministers' Wives and Ministers' 
Widows Alliance as the organization hosts the 81st Annual State Conference and 
congratulate the members for more than eight decades of service in their 
churches and communities around the State.
