Readers Write: Delia loves Port’s senior citizens

The Island Now

In the few years I’ve known Delia, she has shown herself to not just be an excellent and devoted representative for us at the county Legislature, but also a very kind and caring person. This is particularly true when it comes to senior citizens.

I have been a member of the Port Washington Adult Activities Center for well over 20 years. Delia attends just about every special event held at the Center. It is clear that she is a genuinely caring woman who loves seniors.

She also started a lovely new activity where she comes every season to celebrate our birthdays. She gives us each a long stem rose and asks what we’re thankful for. We all know how busy she is and truly appreciate her taking the time to visit with us.

I have heard that she is a very fierce supporter of causes she believes in at the Legislature and I know the needs of senior citizens is at the top of her list.

It is an honor to know Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton and a blessing that she represents Port Washington. I hope you’ll agree that she is the best person to continue to serve as our legislator and that you’ll join me in voting for her on Nov. 5.

Barbara Faticone,

Port Washington
