Friday Thoughts; OCHS and Vinnies Hope
It's been a rather busy week, beginning with Wellfleet Town Meeting on Monday night. It started well, because we received near unanimous support from the floor authorizing the Selectmen to begin negotiations with OCHS regarding the potential lease or purchase of land for construction of a new health center. This has been talked about for a long time, but this is the first positive step towards realization of the goal.
Dr. Barbara Prazak gave a passionate speech in support of the Article and I thank her for her effort. Also, the full Board of Selectmen, Town Administrator , Suzanne Grout, our CEO Dr. Berrien and citizen volunteers have been very supportive of this effort. We can now move forward with the process.
On another note as we approach the holidays. About a month ago, I read a column in the CC Times written by Saralee Perel regarding a woman, Vanessa Santiago, that had formed a small organization known as "Vinnies Hope". The website is at www. vinnies-hope.com. This tireless woman raises funds herself to provide food, clothing and other necessaries to those in need. Please look at her site. Her story is compelling. Anyway, Saralee appealed to attorneys to help Vinnie because she was not incorporated as a non profit and needed some help taking "Vinnies Hope" to the next level. Seemed to me to be a no-brainer, and I will be helping Vanessa going forward.
These days, there are plenty of folks in need and lots of places where our available money can do good. However, I think Vanessas' story is unique and her cause is one place you may want to look when making donation decisions at the holidays. Thanks.

I come in from offshore, in a good mood after catching a 900# giant bluefin, gave crusader a big kiss, made a few comments and all of a sudden I am persona non grata.
What gives? You don't have to terminate my services. Just say the word and I will leave of my own volition.
I wish you well in your attempt to build a new site for OCHS but please keep a close eye on the fundraising. We have been promised a new health center building for years but the fundraising has been lacking in creativity and energy. Wellfleet supports OCHS but patience is growing thin. If OCHS doesnt build it someone else will.
