Whereas, in 2010, Don Tribble was awarded the Distinguished Service Award at South Carolina State University's Founders Day celebration; and
Whereas, matching her husband's enthusiasm for the Orangeburg community, Bernice Tribble served as the Orangeburg Arts Center executive director before taking the mantle as executive director for Downtown Orangeburg Revitalization Association in 1996; and
Whereas, a member and past president of the Rotary Club of Orangeburg-Morning, she serves on the advisory board of the Small Business School at South Carolina State University and on the board of visitors of Claflin University and was a founding member of the Orangeburg County Community of Character initiative; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly are grateful for the years of dedication that Bernice and Don Tribble have devoted to the Orangeburg community and wish them many years of enjoyment as they begin their well-earned retirement on January 31, 2013. Now, therefore,
