TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR Anne Eller for her 
outstanding service to broadcasting and to extend sincere appreciation for her 
dedication to the citizens of Greenwood County and the State of South Carolina.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate are pleased to recognize Anne Eller for faithfully 
serving the Lakelands region as a broadcaster, journalist, and community 
advocate; and

Whereas, in 2007, Ms. 
Eller purchased WLMA Radio, and, in 2010, she became the owner of WCRS Radio. Under 
her leadership, WCRS Radio has become an integral and trusted media platform in 
the Lakelands and remains one of the few independently owned radio stations in 
South Carolina; and

Whereas, she is widely 
known as "The Voice of Greenwood," a distinction earned through her decades of 
covering local, state, and national issues with integrity, compassion, courage, 
and thoughtful inquiry; and

Whereas, her 
award-winning program, "Meet Me at the Diner," established in 2007, is the 
longest-running local radio talk show in Greenwood and has featured hundreds of 
interviews with elected officials, military leaders, community advocates, 
business owners, artists, and national figures; and

Whereas, Ms. Eller is 
the recipient of multiple STAR Awards from the South Carolina Broadcasters 
Association, including honors for Radio Show of the Year and Commercial 
Production, reflecting her professional excellence in broadcasting; and

Whereas, during the 
COVID-19 pandemic, she led a community-wide peanut butter drive that collected 
and distributed more than six thousand pounds of peanut butter for families in 
need through The Salvation Army; and

Whereas, Ms. Eller launched 
and expanded the annual "Be the Heart of the Holidays" Toy Drive in partnership 
with The Salvation Army and Greenwood school districts, collecting thousands of 
toys, books, and bicycles for children in need; and

Whereas, Ms. Eller also 
created the Boom Box Parade for the Burton Center, providing individuals with 
disabilities the opportunity to participate in a beloved annual holiday parade 
tradition; and

Whereas, throughout her 
career, she has been a steadfast supporter of veterans and military families, 
working alongside the Greenwood County Veterans Center, MOAA, and Wreaths 
Across America, and using her platform to elevate the needs of those who have 
served our nation; and

Whereas, a valuable 
source of information and connection for her community, Ms. Eller hosted an on-air 
job fair during a time of workforce crisis, provided live coverage of major 
political conventions and statewide events, and ensured that the citizens of 
Greenwood remain informed and engaged; and

Whereas, through 
initiatives such as "Blues in the Schools," in partnership with Greenwood 
Performing Arts, she has helped bring music education and cultural history into 
local classrooms; and

Whereas, after the 
devastation of Hurricane Helene, WCRS Radio was on the air for many extra hours 
with Ms. Eller providing critical information on local services and support 
when communication from other media outlets was limited or unavailable; and

Whereas, Ms. Eller's 
career exemplifies the highest standards of journalism, civic leadership, 
entrepreneurship, and compassion, and her work continues to positively impact 
the lives of countless citizens in Greenwood County and beyond; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate greatly appreciate the dedication and commitment that 
Ms. Eller has shown in serving the people and the State of South Carolina. 
Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the 
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, 
recognize and honor Anne Eller for her outstanding service to broadcasting and 
extend sincere appreciation for her dedication to the citizens of Greenwood 
County and the State of South Carolina.
