TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR CHERI TERRAPIN ANTHONY, FORMER DIRECTOR OF THE PICKENS RECREATION DEPARTMENT, FOR MORE THAN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO HER COMMUNITY, UPON THE RENAMING OF THE PICKENS RECREATION CENTER IN HER HONOR.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the name of the Pickens Recreation Center has been changed to the Cheri Terrapin Anthony Recreation Center in honor of Cheri Anthony who worked for the recreation department for more than a quarter of a century; and

Whereas, the Pickens City Council voted unanimously in favor of the resolution to rename the center in 2021 for the former director of the Pickens Recreation Department who had retired earlier in the year; and

Whereas, Ms. Anthony earned a bachelor's degree from Limestone College in 1983 and began working at the Pickens Recreation Department in 1995, becoming its director in 1998; and

Whereas, in 2018, she won the South Carolina Athletic Programs Branch Professional of the Year award, and in 2019, the South Carolina Recreation and Parks Association named Ms. Anthony as the state merit award winner; and

Whereas, the city's recreation committee will commission a new sign to be built and appropriately placed with the new name for the recreation center which has served as a home court to countless young athletes who have participated on successful recreation sports squads in Pickens since its opening in 2005; and

Whereas, grateful for the years of tireless service that Cheri Anthony has devoted to the Pickens Recreation Department and for the countless young people her service has impacted, the South Carolina House of Representatives applauds the renaming of the center as the Cheri Terrapin Anthony Recreation Center. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Cheri Terrapin Anthony, former director of the Pickens Recreation Department, for more than twenty-five years of outstanding service to her community, upon the renaming of the Pickens Recreation Center in her honor.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Cheri Terrapin Anthony.
