Romulus City Councilman William Wadsworth had a brief holiday message for the community during the recent Zoom meeting of the city council.
“This is the Christmas season, usually a time of giving,” Wadsworth said, “although many of us feel that more has been taken from us than given this year.”
Wadsworth, the longest serving member of the council, suggested that this was still a time to remember local charitable organizations and groups that are more in need of help this year due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wadsworth, who along with his wife recently recovered from the virus, said there are so many in the community who still need donations and help.
“I suggest you think of the animal shelter, which always needs donations,” he said. Wadsworth was the driving force in the community for securing donated funds and in-kind contributions to fund the city animal shelter.
“Think about Helping Hand, the Coleman Center, the library the Salvation Army,” he said. “Give to something somewhere,” he suggested, “even though it seems more has been taken than given this year.”
