Members sought for Historical Work Group

(April 26, 2024) Board member Elaine Brady, at an OPA Board meeting on Saturday, brought up a discussion topic on establishing a work group to collect, properly preserve and organize historical items related to the history of Ocean Pines, along with determining how to best showcase them.

“The 50th Anniversary Committee received many documents and pictures from individuals who helped shape our community,” Brady said. “There was some discussion at that time of creating a way to display them. However, other than repurposing a few message boards surrounding the Administration parking lot for a handful of items, the rest has been sitting in storage.

“It's time we should start looking at ways to organize and showcase those items. Additionally, we should collect our more recent documents and pictures in order for future generations to not only learn the history of the beginnings of Ocean Pines, but how the community has evolved over the years before the inherent knowledge and documents are lost,” she added.
