The past four years Governor Haley has provided a welcome letter for our program booklet.  We would appreciate it if she is able to send us a letter greeting those in attendance.  Thanks.

Mr. Brown,

 

Thank you for your email. Governor Haley appreciates your kind consideration in extending an invitation for her to attend the 5th Annual South Carolina Heritage and Humanities Festival on Saturday, February 20, 2016 at the Eutawville Community Center. Governor Haley appreciates your kind consideration, but regrettably the Governor’s schedule will not permit for her to attend as that date is the same day as the SC Presidential Primary. Thank you for thinking of Governor Haley, and best wishes on a wonderful festival next month.

 

Take care,

Nicole
