The Pineāeer Craft Club of Ocean Pines announces Donations to the Community
Monday, February 15, 2021
The following is a release from the The Pine’eer Craft Club:
The Pine’eer Craft Club announced its year-end donations to the community. The club had to cancel two major fundraisers this year because of the COVID-19 virus and had to close its shop for 43 selling days more than the previous year. In spite of these challenges, the club gave a total of $3,500 to the Ocean Pines Police Department, Ocean Pines Fire Department, Ocean Pines Parks and Rec Department, the Worcester County Veteran’s Memorial, and Ocean Pines Public Works.
“Giving back to the community is the major focus of our club,” Craft Club President Sharon Puser said. “We were pleased that we were still able to donate again this year.” Checks were mailed to the recipients, as the Installation and Holiday Luncheon in December was canceled.
Besides running two major craft fairs each year, the club also runs a gift shop in White Horse Park next to the Farmer’s Market in Ocean Pines. Open every weekend, the Artisan Gift Shop is filled with hand crafted items from its members at reasonable prices. Profits from the shop and from fundraisers are donated back to the community. Since its inception in 1974, the club has donated over $169,000 back to the community.
Currently, the club is working on their summer Arts & Crafts Festival, scheduled for August 7.
“We need to start planning now to make it successful. Hopefully by August, we will be able to hold this event this year.” Puser said.
