Yacht Club achieves goal to help hourly workers

(May 7, 2020) Ocean Pines Yacht Club officials this week announced they had achieved an important goal: raising $10,000 in tips for hourly workers temporarily laid off because of mandatory COVID-19 closures. 

Ralph DeAngelus, cofounder of the Matt Ortt Companies that runs the Yacht Club, made the following announcement on Wednesday: 

“Since March 18, these eleven managers have been working at the Yacht Club making and delivering family meals to Ocean Pines residents. 

“At the start of their journey, they set a goal to raise $10,000 in tips to give to the hourly staff members once they were allowed to return back to work. 

“Thanks to the generosity of the residents of Ocean Pines, as of today they have achieved their goal!   

“Congratulations not only to these managers, but to Ocean Pines as well, for proving once again that we are a family,” DeAngelus said.  

The Ocean Pines Yacht Club remains open for delivery and carryout each Wednesday through Sunday, from 4-8 p.m. To order, call 410-641-7501 or order online at www.opyachtclub.com.
