Congratulations on the new Lowe’s Anderson South! Lowe’s now employs 117 associates. I was honored to take part in their “board cutting” (alternative to ribbon cutting) ceremony on Thursday 10.20.11. Rep. Don Bowen (R-Anderson) operated the saw, while I held the board (still have 10 fingers!).
We wish manager Scot Pfeffer and his team well!
There will be a public hearing with the
South Carolina Public Services Commission in Anderson on
November 10, 2011, at the Anderson Civic Center at 6pm.
As you know, Duke Energy is seeking approval from the Public Service Commission to increase rates.

Dear Senator Bryant:
Lowe’s of South Anderson is proud to invite you to be a special guest at our grand opening celebration. We would be honored if you could attend our “board-cutting ceremony,” which is our version of a ribbon-cutting ceremony and has been a grand opening tradition at Lowe’s for more than 60 years.
The ceremony will take place at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 20th at the new Lowe’s located at 408 Highway 28 By-pass here in Anderson, SC. We hope you that can join us for refreshments after the ceremony.
Thank you in advance for your possible attendance. Please telephone me with your confirmation so we can have a special VIP name tag ready for you on grand opening day.
Thank you for your consideration and support. We look forward to serving the Anderson community!
Sincerely, Scot Pfeffer, Store Manager

Concluding remarks and benediction
Following the “Cry Out America” event, there will be a 9/11 parade, sponsored by the Anderson United Way, starting at 3:00 PM. It will come down Main Street starting at Greenville Street and ending at River Street.
There will be free parking in the parking garage beside the Anderson County Courthouse. Since the roads will be closed off for the parade, here are the directions for entering the parking garage. Come down Murray, turn onto Benson Street (which borders the south side of the Courthouse), turn left into the Courthouse parking lot and drive through it, turn left onto Whitner Street and then right into the parking garage.
