‘Good Neighbor’ program to celebrate community spirit

Thursday, February 20, 2025

(Feb. 20, 2025) The Ocean Pines Association invites residents and property owners to help celebrate community spirit by nominating outstanding neighbors for the new “Ocean Pines Good Neighbor” program.

Developed by the OPA Communications Committee, the initiative aims to foster an “attitude of gratitude” by highlighting those who inspire others and contribute to the betterment of Ocean Pines.

Examples of potential nominees include those who:

Organize neighborhood clean-ups or block parties
Lead food or clothing donation drives
Assist neighbors who are physically unable to complete yard maintenance, dog walking, or other tasks
Regularly pick up litter or beautify the community in other ways
Volunteer with local organizations
Inspire others through acts of kindness and a commitment to the community

“This program is about celebrating the everyday heroes who make Ocean Pines a better place to live,” Committee Chairperson Linda Yurche said. “Recognizing and honoring these efforts helps build a stronger and more connected community.”

Nominations can be submitted by emailing [email protected]. Residents may nominate individuals personally known to them or those they observe performing good deeds in the community.

Each month, the Communications Committee will review nominations and recommend one recipient to the Board for recognition. Selected honorees will be announced and celebrated during a Board of Directors meeting, where they will receive a token of appreciation, such as a gift card or branded merchandise, and have their photo taken with the Board president.

Honorees will also be featured on Ocean Pines social media channels, and in the weekly “This Week in the Pines” email newsletter.

For more information about the Ocean Pines Good Neighbor program, or to nominate someone for their contributions, contact [email protected].
