On August 31, a surprise arrived at the Romney Outreach Office. Outreach Coordinator Teresa Reddick was presented with a wonderfully generous donation from the members of the West Sunrise Landowners Association, Inc.
The association, which had been inactive since 2001, was subsequently dissolved.
After some discussion at their final meeting, the members decided by unanimous vote to donate all of the money left in the association’s account to Catholic Charities West Virginia’s Romney Outreach Office. The decision was made after one of the members gave testimony about how Catholic Charities WV had once helped their family when they were going through a financially difficult time. The money is to be used to help local families in need.
Doug and Sandra Pyles presented the check for $15,746.64. The staff at Catholic Charities thanks all of the members of the West Sunrise Landowners Association for their kindness and generosity.
