Taste of SC
Another great year!
Congratulations to Tom Sponseller and his staff at the South Carolina Hospitality Association for hosting the best legislative lunch to date!  The layout was perfect for mixing with industry colleagues and our legislators.  The food selection was great and readily accessible. 

Special "thank yous" our members who took time out of their day to make the trip!  We had the largest delegation of industry representatives and certainly made an impact on our elected officials. 

This event is vitally important as the state moves forward in the budget process.  It is necessary for our leaders to see how their decisions affect the #1 industry.

Again, thank you to the staff of the SC Hospitality Association, attendees and the CACVB staff for making the day go so smoothly!
