Sen. Michael A. Jackson, Commissioner President Reuben Collins and Rep. Anthony Brown

Maryland Congressman Anthony Brown and Senator Michael A. Jackson joined a large group of local business and civic leaders Thursday evening at a special fundraising event to celebrate Reuben B. Collins, president of the Charles County Commissioners.

G.S. Proctor & Associates hosted the well-attended event at Red Tails Ocean Grille in Waldorf.

“The G.S. Proctor & Associates team is thrilled to see such an exceptional turnout for this event with Commissioner President Collins,” Vice President Trey Proctor said. “As we look ahead to his future re-election campaign, this support is invaluable. It’s a true endorsement of the inclusive and forward-thinking leadership that he has brought to Charles County.”

In his remarks, Brown noted that he and Collins have known each other for many years and share a similar drive and passion for public service.

Brown, a former lieutenant governor, recently announced his candidacy for Maryland attorney general, and early polls show him well-positioned in his Democratic primary race.

Jackson praised the growth that Charles County has seen during Collins’ tenure as a county commissioner and encouraged him to continue championing a responsible approach to growth that ensures the county does not outgrow the services it is able to provide.

Now in his third term as a commissioner, Collins has crafted and advocated for his “Smart City Vision” for the county to ensure just such a result in one of the state’s most affluent and evolving counties.

When Collins addressed the gathering, he thanked everyone for attending and then vowed to continue his efforts toward smart growth that keeps Charles County and its citizens in a position to thrive.

The event was co-hosted by CMI, Chaney Enterprises, DM&T Development, Meinhardt Properties, MCB Real Estate, Newton Development Company, The Law Office of Hamad S. Matin, Generation Properties LLC, Hooper & Associates, and Terry Lierman.

St. John Properties Thanksgiving Distribution

For more than 25 years, G.S. Proctor & Associates has held its annual Holiday Turkey Drive, providing turkeys and baskets with all the trimmings to families in need for Thanksgiving and Christmas. This year’s effort has been especially memorable.

Because of the generosity and dedication of local businesses, non-profit organizations and faith-based organizations in and around the area, more  than 1,000 families in Prince George’s County, Charles County and Washington, D.C., will enjoy a delicious, nourishing meal during this holiday season. 

St. John Properties, one of the Mid-Atlantic region’s largest and most successful privately held commercial real estate firms, led the way with a $15,000 donation. The firm was joined by a collection of other G.S. Proctor & Associates clients and supporters.

On Monday, members of the St. John Properties team and many other community-focused individuals and organizations joined us to help load and distribute meals. It was an incredible day, a total team effort and an amazing accomplishment that could only be achieved by working together.

“St. John Properties is proud to support the 2021 Holiday Turkey Drive to benefit families in Prince George’s and Charles Counties,” St. John Properties said in a statement. “Throughout our 50-year history, we have remained committed to being a good corporate citizen and giving back to communities in which we have a presence. We’d like to thank the organizations and individuals who have worked to make this turkey drive possible, and wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season!”
