KIWANIS HONORS FIRST VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH

Barbara Peletier, right, president of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines-Ocean City, names Stella Hartington the club’s October 2012 Volunteer of the Month during the Nov. 14 meeting. Peletier, who took office Oct. 3, instituted the new program that honors the club’s outstanding volunteer of the month. Hartington, a member of the Kiwanis “Dog Team,” worked at all the hot dog sales in October, the Pancake Breakfast and the annual Germanfest in addition to completing her work as contributor, editor and publisher of the new local Kiwanis Club’s information pamphlet to allow prospective members to understand what the club does, how it’s done and why it’s done.
