October 18, 2013 The Dispatch/Maryland Coast Dispatch Page 45 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR FROM PAGE 44 into the system. In this case, Worcester County took ownership of the waterline and the charges to home owners, contractors or developers will be collected by Worcester County. We have requested meetings with the Worcester County Commissioners multiple times to explain our position, the need and the rationale to be reimbursed for the additional $59,134 expense. We did not and would not ask Worcester County to fully reimburse us for the waterline, but only for the added expense for which we did not budget, nor were expecting to have to absorb to add the additional infrastructure. Our request for reimbursement has been denied every time. We consider this decision to be unjustified. In the name of fairness, we respectfully request that Worcester County reconsider and reimburse us for the additional expense of $59,134. These monies would be used solely for the West Ocean City Station and equipment for that station. Clifford A. Christello Ocean City (The writer is the president of the OCVFC.) Worcester County G.O.L.D. (Giving Other Lives Dignity) Inc. to being our annual Helping Hands For the Holidays project. Hundreds of individuals without hope for a happy holiday are waiting and hoping to be matched with a community sponsor. Families with children, disabled adults, foster children and deserving senior citizens are being referred by social agencies to G.O.L.D. for assistance. Last year, more than 1,200 needy Worcester County citizens (mostly children) had a merrier holiday because of Helping Hands for the Holiday sponsors. We have had reports from our donors that helping another family “was the highlight” of their own holiday season. We understand that it is a busy time of year. If you are unable to shop for a family, another way to help the less fortunate is by purchasing Food Lion and Wal-Mart gift cards for G.O.L.D. to give to families who do not get a sponsor. Another option might be to send a monetary gift to G.O.L.D., P.O. Box 39, Snow Hill, Md. 21863, so that gifts and food may be purchased for non-sponsored families. If you can share the spirit of giving through our Helping Hands project, we will send you the name of a family that has been referred to us for this help. Please contact G.O.L.D. at 410677-6830 and we would be happy to answer any questions you have. Darlene Onley Snow Hill (The writer is the executive director of Worcester County G.O.L.D.)
