CFES to Host Annual Meeting
October 13, 2010
The Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore
will host its Annual Meeting and Report to the Community on Friday, November 5,
from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at The Fountains Conference Center in Salisbury.
The annual meeting is an
opportunity for the Foundation to celebrate the community’s success in
supporting philanthropy on Maryland’s Lower Eastern Shore.
The Foundation also reports on its activities during the past year in
providing grants for local nonprofit organizations, scholarship awards, a
variety of nonprofit support programs, and other initiatives that improve the
quality of life for the citizens of Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester Counties.
Other highlights of the meeting
include the election of Foundation officers and the presentation of two of the region’s
most prestigious awards in the nonprofit community – the Henson Award of
Excellence honoring the year’s most outstanding nonprofit organization, and the
Morris Humanitarian Award honoring an individual for uncommon philanthropic
service to the community.
Over 300 persons attended the
Community Foundation’s annual meeting last year. Due to limited seating, early
registration is encouraged. The public
is welcome to attend and registration for the Annual Meeting is $25 per
person. Anyone interested in attending
the meeting and luncheon may register online or call the Foundation at 410-742-9911.
