OCEAN PINES – The Ocean Pines Chamber of Commerce will bestow three honors during its upcoming installation and awards banquet.
The chamber will honor Taylor Bank as business of the year, long-time volunteer Terri Mahoney of WMDT as citizen of the year and the Kiwanis Club of Ocean Pines and Ocean City as non-profit of the year.
The chamber’s board of directors for 2014/2015 will also be installed during the banquet, which will be held 6-9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9, at the Ocean City Marlin Club on Golf Course Road in West Ocean City.
The theme for the banquet is “The Captain’s Dinner” and the ambience will be like the ambience of a captain’s dinner aboard a cruise ship. Dress is black tie optional.
Tickets, at $60 each, may be purchased online at www.oceanpineschamber.org or by calling 410-641-5306 to RSVP by Oct. 3.
This is the chamber’s 15th annual awards and installation banquet.
The chamber also has events planned for the remainder of this month.
Fall Bingo will be held 6-9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 12, at the Ocean Pines Community Center. Doors open at 6 p.m. and games begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. There will be cash games, special games and prize baskets from local businesses. Food and beverages will be available for purchase.
A forum for candidates for Worcester County Commissioner seats will be held 5:30-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 17, at the Ocean Pines branch of the Worcester County Library. As of Sept. 8, those expected to attend were Commissioner Madison “Jim” Bunting, Commissioners President Bud Church, Commissioner-elect Joe Mitrecic and candidates Chip Bertino, Tom Wilson and Diana Purnell, according to Ocean Pines Chamber Executive Director Liz Kain Bolen.
Commissioner Bunting faces no opposition, but wants to meet and talk with constituents, who include some Ocean Pines residents. Church is facing challenger Michael Maykrantz, who is not expected to attend, in District 3. Mitrecic will replace retiring Commissioner Louise Gulyas in District 7. Bertino and Wilson are vying to be elected to take the seat of Commissioner Judy Boggs, who is not running for re-election in District 5, the Ocean Pines district. Purnell faces challenger Lorraine Purnell-Ayres to take the District 2 seat of Commissioner James Purnell, who is retiring.
A breakfast networking meeting for chamber members and prospective members will be held at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 25, in the Assateague Room at the Ocean Pines Community Center. Atlantic General Hospital CEO/President Michael Franklin will be the guest speaker.
