Tour
of
the
Midlands
Yesterday,
I
visited
communities
in
the
Midlands
as
part
of
this
year’s
46
county
tour.
I
stopped
by
ABBA’s
Sweet
Treats
in
Winnsboro
and
got
the
chance
to
enjoy
some
butter
pecan
ice
cream.
I
also
visited
PPG
Industries
in
Chester.
The
employees
gave
me
a
brief
tour
of
the
facility.
My
last
stop
was
Philippi
Baptist
Church
in
Union,
where
I
spoke
to
members
of
Union
County
Chamber
of
Commerce
at
their
annual
Awards
Banquet.
Congratulations
to
all
those
who
were
honored!
Financial
Literacy
Month
During
the
month
of
April,
we
recognize
financial
literacy. Financial
literacy,
like
education,
is
an
important
key
to
accessing
all
the
powerful
opportunities
our
country
offers. I
have
seen
firsthand
the
ripple
effects
on
families
and
communities
when
financial
literacy
is
made
a
priority. I encourage
individuals
and
families
to
use
April
to take advantage
of
the
programs
available
to
assess
their
personal
financial
health
and
create
financial
goals
that
work
for
them.
Too
many
families
are
faced
with
crippling
debt,
and
ensuring
they
have
the
tools
to
move
forward
is
of
critical
importance
to
both
our
communities
and
our
nation
as
a
whole.
I would like
to
wish
you
all
a
Happy
Easter!
Spending
the
Easter
season
with
your
family
and
loved
ones
is
very
important.
Thank
you

to

weekly
e-newsletter,
