More than 200 people recently gathered at Kings Creek Country Club for fellowship and festivities to benefit the Community Resource Center of Rehoboth Beach.
The Rev. Jeffrey Ross of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Lewes received the Community Advocate Award for 2025. Attendees mingled, dined and bid on live auction items.
