It is for those suffering from chronic pain that lasts for more than three to six months, varies in intensity, affects one or more areas and creates stress in a person’s life. Those who successfully complete the program have more vitality, less pain, less dependence on others, improved mental health and are more involved in everyday activities. 

The workshop is six classes and will meet each Thursday, Oct. 31 through Dec. 12 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at the Ocean Pines Community Center.

There is no charge for the workshop and space is limited. For additional information or to register, call Laura Small at 410-629-6820.

Nov. 2 

On Saturday, Nov. 2 from 9 a.m. to noon the Ocean City Development Corporation and its Clean-Up Committee is sponsoring its first ever “Ocean City Clean Sweep” to pick up litter and debris scattered around downtown Ocean City between the inlet and 17th Street. This activity will occur from the Boardwalk to the bay and is intended to compliment the Town’s end of year clean up efforts.   Volunteers will be walking the streets of downtown Ocean City picking up trash, litter, and cigarette butts left over from this summer. Gloves and trash bags will be provided. Businesses and property owners are being asked to clean up their properties as well.

The OCDC is looking for volunteers to help clean up.  The first 50 registered volunteers will receive free shirts.  Lunch will be provided to volunteers. The base for the clean-up will be at the OCDC office at 108 Dorchester Street in downtown Ocean City. 

If interested in volunteering, contact the OCDC at 410-289-7739 or e-mail at OCDC at kds@ocdc.org.
