FUND RAISING INITIATIVES OF NOTE TO OCEAN CITY PROPERTY OWNERS

OCCA wants to bring to our members attention two present fund raising programs vital to the future welfare of our community, which you might wish to contribute. 

Shore Memorial Hospital, in Somers Point, is the leading provider of emergency and major medical care for the Ocean City area with more than 7,500 inpatient and same day procedures performed annually.  They now require an expansion to house new medical technology and have embarked on a comprehensive facility expansion of a new Surgical Pavilion, along with a spacious atrium lobby, and a glass-enclosed pedestrian bridge to a new five-story, 1,000-car parking facility.  Please see their website for further information. https://www.shorememorialfoundation.org/shore-tomorrow.cfm

The Ocean City Community Center Association is an independent community service organization, dedicated to encouraging community-wide participation and philanthropy in order to enhance and expand enrichment opportunities in the Ocean City Community Center.  Please see their website for further information. http://ocnjcca.org/Home_Page.html

      BIKE ADVOCACY and ROUTE INFORMATION and UPDATES: 
 Our Bicycle Advocacy Committee is striving to promote bicycle use and safety island-wide. Where there is consensus we seek action from the City. Where there is controversy our goal is to consider all the facts and elevate the debate above suspicion and fear.

 

    Sharrow: The Sharrow is a "Share The Road" symbol becoming popular accross the country to designate roadways as multi-use. These lane markings, in the absence of designated bike lanes, communicate to cars that bikes share the roadway and designate a "lane" within the roadway for bikes to travel to keep them away from opening car doors. Ocean City is the first municipality in the state to use the Sharrow! Learn more:

Bike & Eco Tourism Brochure:  A brochure which will provide this vital information, and will be distributed and accessible throughout the island.

Riding School Bus:  A Riding or Walking School Bus is a program developed through the National Safe Routes to School Foundation. It is designed to encourage kids to walk or ride their bikes to school for physical activity, while teaching them traffic safety principles. 
 
Community Quilt:  Ever dreamed of making your streets safer, more liveable and pedestrian friendly, and more beautiful? The Ocean City Community Arts Projects shares that dream and is making it a reality through traffic calming, intersection murals. Street Art - A Film By OC resident John Thornton

This year commemorates the 60th anniversary of the Community Association.  One idea was to invite former leaders to come to a meeting to be recognized for their past achievements.  Any other ideas are welcome.
