 We're pleased to have with us tonight, Teresa Wilson, City of Columbia Manager, and Junior League of Columbia's State. Teresa Wilson will be presenting a formal proclamation announcing the Junior League of Columbia 100 Access Service Week. Earlier this week, the league was presented with a formal proclamation at the City of Columbia City Council meeting by Mayor Redmond and City Council. And we'd like to hear from Mayor Redmond about the city's appreciation for the work with the league and its continued collaboration. Teresa makes her way to the stage. I'll give you a little background about her career. She leads an executive team in the South Carolina's capital city, focused on community development, public safety, and enhancing the quality life of Columbia. Teresa is helping to transform our city. She's the incoming president of the South Carolina City Accounting Management Association and an active member of the International City Accounting Management Association. A Liberty Fellow, a Riley Fellow, Teresa has received numerous accolades including being one of Columbia's top 20 and reporting business professionals, one of Columbia Business Monthly's 50 most influential people, and one of the Southeast All Business Magazine's top women in influence. Thank you for being with us tonight, Teresa. Of course, one of the things that saved up the Junior League of Columbia is in 2004 and there were some thrilling, sweet ladies who encouraged me to become a part of the Junior League of Columbia, a beautiful baby right there and some other children that I've seen in the room. It is one of my sponsors, like Barbara MacArthur and Cappy Hubbard, who was on that video because they were like, I'm sitting here in Columbia, which wasn't like something I necessarily had aspired to do. But she saw me work hard and show grit and hustle and have women around me who are my mother and my whole village, the other friends and friendships that developed through the league. And so I would encourage all of you to cherish those moments, cherish the friendships you make along the way, get those leadership nuggets because Junior League gave me that as well, and it allowed me to evolve so there were times in my life like then where I was provisional, I think Sally Manning was Sally's here, Sally was my provisional here, Dan Mugger, I think that's what I learned today. And I worked really hard and I was really involved and started developing and I think the league was always a huge supporter of me and this community and look how it's all come closer because now that kind of apartment is a partner for our city and it's pouring into children in our city and other different believe is always involved in. I look back and I saw some of the opportunity to sponsor and try to pour into Ashley Judith Wood, who has worked with the city of Columbia personally for many years and other members like Miss Payton, Miss Payton is the new, Miss who's in her first year and she works for Mayor Ripken now, so we are very fortunate to have a network and it's free because it comes back around and professionally and personally the connections are truly, truly important. With that I look forward to doing more access service with the league in this very special year and the city of Columbia is extremely grateful for the partnership and all that the league does in our capital city. So on behalf of Mayor Ripken and in his absence he would have been here at the end of the meeting Tuesday night to formally present the proclamation that I am going to take the time because what's in it is very meaningful.
