Worcester County honors its Most Beautiful People
Tuesday, April 6, the Worcester County Commissioners and Volunteer Services Manager Cyndy Howell recognized area volunteers as the lifeblood of the community during the 2010 Worcester County's Most Beautiful People (WCMBP) Volunteer Awards Ceremony.

This celebration honored 17 individuals recognized by Worcester County and two organizations recognized by the state as our community's most beautiful people of 2010.

Individuals recognized by Worcester County include Barbara Browning, Gladys Byrd, Phyllis East, Marie Gilmore, Anne Leach Glovier, L. Eloise Henry Gordy, Neil Gottesman, David Hall, Curt Lippoldt, Elsie Northam, Brooks Onley, Louvinia Phillips, Sylvia Sturgis, Shirley Waters and Tom Wilson. They contributed, not to seek self recognition, but rather to serve their communities. Their generous spirits, caring attitudes and willingness to go the extra mile have garnered them the recognition of Worcester County and their peers.

The Atlantic General Hospital (AGH) Auxiliary and the Community Church of Ocean Pines have been chosen as Worcester County's 2010 Most Beautiful by the state and will represent our county at the Governor's Volunteer Awards Banquet to be held in Annapolis on April 19 during National Volunteer Week.

"The economy proves to be very challenging for many in our community," said Howell. "Without the help of these amazing volunteers who step forward to fill program gaps, many of our citizens would have no choice but to forgo needed services due to the costs they would incur."

Those in attendance during the county's 2010 WCMBP ceremony represent only a small sample of the hundreds of volunteers whose efforts sustain vital programs that otherwise could not be made available in our area.

Worcester County Government is extremely grateful for each of the countless volunteers who dedicate their time, talent, and resources day in and day out to improve the lives of those around them. It is these individuals and groups, whose good works often go unnoticed by the general public, who make Worcester County such a wonderful place to call home.
