(Jan 26, 2017) Star Charities’ flagship annual event, the Beef and Beer dinner in Ocean Pines, returns this Friday, Jan. 27.
All proceeds from ticket sales support the Wounded Soldiers in Maryland fund. Organizer Anna Foultz established the event in honor of her late husband, Carl, who served in the U.S. Army during three different conflicts.
“It makes me feel so proud of my husband who was so good about being in the service,” Foultz said. “I feel close to the soldiers in a way that my heart is just lifted. I don’t live for anything else. What is there for me to live for except to help people?”
Em-ings Barbeque will cater the dinner, an all-you-can-eat buffet, and Larry Walton will emcee and preside over a series of auctions to raise additional funds. Auction items will include golf rounds, an airplane ride, a mink coat, wreathes and a quilt. Dave Sherman will provide live music.
Foultz also promised a special treat for guests. At the start of the evening, a Snow Hill Girl Scout troop will present a flag ceremony – a first for the event. Foultz, 91, has been recognized as the oldest-living Girl Scout in the country.
“I’m also doing a Girl Scout event on [February] 13, a Monday, at DeNovo’s for the Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay – for the girls who can’t afford scouting,” she said. “I love the children to death, and that’s why I work so hard for the scouts. I want to see girls get into scouting.”
Star Charities annual Beef and Beer dinner runs from 5-9 p.m. in the Ocean Pines community center at 235 Ocean Parkway. Tickets cost $25. To purchase tickets, contact Foultz at 410-641-7667 or Mary Evans at 410-596-5498.
