(Aug. 8, 2020) For the second straight year, an official Ocean Pines Association Annual Meeting was not held because of the lack of a quorum.  

Association President Doug Parks, during brief opening remarks on Saturday at the Worcester County Veterans Memorial in Ocean Pines, said a quorum was not reached and asked for a motion to adjourn the meeting. The motion was made and seconded, and the meeting was adjourned.  

Parks said the Sam Wilkinson Award, presented each year by the Recreation and Parks Department, would be given at a later date.  

He said reports scheduled for the Annual Meeting would be made available online. As of Saturday, slides from the GM report, finance report and auditor's report were online, here: /documents/20124/91011/2020%20Annual%20Meeting%20Presentation.pptx/78e6db4e-c9ba-04b8-25e5-5aef6ead909f. 

Parks' report was made available on Monday, here: .org/documents/20124/91011/2020%20President%20Annual%20Report.docx/8a5d3bf6-348e-a6cf-e6a9-77f962914f34, as was attorney Jeremy Tucker's report, here: http://www.oceanpines.org//documents/20124/91011/2020%20Ocean%20Pines%20Annual%20Meeting%20Legal%20Update%283769515.1%29.pdf/640ad70b-241d-7922-5fd8-7a7b473e6176. 

Parks said the Board of Directors would next meet on Wednesday, Aug. 12 at 2 p.m. in the Golf Clubhouse. 

"We will have the acceptance of the election results from the Elections Committee and we'll also follow that up with the organizational meeting of the new Board," Parks said.
