BERLIN – Golfers from across the peninsula had a great time teeing off to benefit Worcester County Developmental Center (WCDC) at the 4th annual golf tournament. The tournament is WCDC’s largest annual fundraiser. Held June 14, 2010, at the Ocean City Golf Club, the event raised over $12,000 to provide services to adults with disabilities.

WCDC’s clients were not the only ones who won, though. Taking home first place in the competitive division was the Quillin Foundation team, comprised of Michael Quillin, Skill Johnson, Fred Nicoll, and Dennis Winters. The teams from Esham Family Limited Partnership and Key Advisors Group placed second and third, respectively.

The Berlin community came together to support WCDC at a benefit dinner held Saturday, April 24, 2010, at the Atlantic Hotel. The proceeds of the dinner went toward the Working Toward a Brighter Future capital campaign.

Tickets for the event sold for $100 each and included two cocktails. A 50/50 raffle was also held with the winner taking home $965! Community supporters also had the opportunity to sponsor the event either personally or via their business.

SNOW HILL – (October 26-30th, 2009) WCDC participants were truly engaged in different activities during WCDC Spirit Week which included friendly work area challenges and a dress-up theme for each day. Activities to test participant’s creativity included making a table center piece, goody bag making, Halloween collage poster making, and room decorating. They also got to show off their costumes and dancing skills at a Halloween dance sponsored by the Berlin American Legion. The WCDC Spirit Week was a big hit and will now be scheduled as an annually event through the WCDC Enrichment program.

With all roofing and outer walls complete, the new building is now enclosed. Crews are hard at work to complete the entry canopy, heating and air conditioning, plumbing, electrical work and drywall. If you would like to schedule a tour of the building site, please call the WCDC Development Office at (410) 632-2571.
