Call 800-826-4228 • 410-213-9330 BERLIN – For two decades, Atlantic General Hospital (AGH) has made its home in Worcester County, and the hospital will be commemorating its 20th anniversary with the community on Thursday, May 16, at the home of John and Pat Otto in Berlin. “This year, we’re going to step it up a notch because it is the 20th,” said Kim Ruark-Mihaly, Anniversary Celebration Committee chair. “We’re hoping for increased attendance.” The goal this year is to bring in at least 350 event goers. Even though the celebration is being held at a private home, Ruark-Mihaly said there will be abundant room on the waterfront property for 400 or more guests. Toni Keiser, vice president of public relations for AGH, noted that for the last 18 years the hospital has held each anniversary celebration at a private residence. It’s a unique way to showcase some of the most beautiful homes in the area while also helping keep the event expenditures lower than what they would have been if held at a public facility. “From the time I started in 1995, someone in the community has been very generous in opening their home to this event which saves us a tremendous amount on expenses,” she said. “It also makes the affair much more intimate.” AGH plans on making its 20th anniversary a memorable one by bringing in Sunset Grille to cater and taking advantage of the Ottos’ outdoor brick pizza oven by inviting Touch of Italy from Lewes, Del., to add Italian cuisine to the menu. Finally, an Asian noodle bar will be added to the mix to offer a wide-reaching menu for a variety of taste buds. Musical entertainment will be provided by the appropriately named band The Chest Pains. The hospital relies extensively on community support, according to Keiser, and events like the annual anniversary celebration are crucial to keeping AGH alive and effective. With the cost of business on the rise each year and the fees the hospital can charge set by the state, the hospital needs the extra funds to continue to grow and improve service. It can be a balancing act because of all of the other worthy causes in Worcester, Keiser admitted. “We are trying to raise money SEE PAGE 50 VISIT US AT WWW.TRAVELWITHOASIS.COM CENTURY 21 New Horizon 8606 Coastal Highway, Ocean City, Maryland 21842 410-723-4500 • 800-369-0101 ® 2013 Century 21 New Horizon www.century21newhorizon.com REDUCED NEW LISTING Bright, fully furnished efficiency.
