Ocean Pines Golfers Donate to Diakonia
Because we can all use some good news right now, we want to share the following message from the Ocean Pines Golf Members Council, the Ocean Pines Ladies Golf Association and the Ocean Pines Men's Golf Association:
"On January 17, not long before any of us knew we would spend our spring days in quarantine, over seventy members of the Ocean Pines Golf Community enjoyed a pizza party at the Community Center. Everyone pitched in $10, enjoyed a variety of locally made pizzas, and chatted about the new Clubhouse and the hopes of good golfing weather for the grand opening.
The event produced a profit of nearly $250 which was set aside to help fund future social events for the golf membership. With the current schedule of events and tournaments on hold, the leadership of the Ocean Pines Golf Members’ Council, the Ocean Pines Ladies’ Golf Association, and the Ocean Pines Men’s Golf Association has decided donate this money to Diakonia Inc. as they work during these difficult times to provide meals and support for those who have been severely affected by recent events."
