Foundation President Guest Speaker at Berlin Award Banquet
May 12, 2009

Dr. Spicer Bell, President of the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, will be the guest speaker at the 44th Annual Berlin Award Banquet sponsored by the Berlin Lions Club. This year’s banquet will be held Thursday, May 28th, at 6:30 p.m. at the Berlin Lions Den.

The Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore is celebrating its 25th year of service and is the largest non-governmental source of support for nonprofit organizations in the Maryland lower shore counties of Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester. Gifts to the Community Foundation, a public charity, create permanent endowment funds that steadily grow in value over time and produce income for grants to local charitable nonprofit organizations. Since its founding in 1984, the Community Foundation has distributed $35 million to nonprofit charitable organizations in the region.

Each year at the Berlin Award Banquet a resident of the Berlin area is honored for their citizenship and outstanding volunteer service to the community. The recipient is selected from nominations submitted by the public. The banquet begins with a social hour at 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner and the announcement of the Berlin Award. Tickets are $20 per person.

Anyone wishing to attend the award banquet should send a check with the names of those who will be attending to: Russ Barrett, Banquet Chair; 101 Quillin Dr., Berlin, MD 21811, or phone 410-641-4322.
