It is indeed a shame that it has come to the point that we are required to show our Ocean Pines ID to enter. However, a large crowd is expected and it would not be right if association members could not get a seat at the meeting because too many non association members were there. 
I am thinking the meeting tomorrow is going to be enough of a logistical nightmare without having to check tax bills or other forms of ID to confirm membership. Clearly the Board did not expect this situation, thus the “last minute” requirement to show ID.
