Teeing Off to Help Area Needy
Tuesday, September 27, 2011
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Union golfers took over the all-union Enterprise golf course yesterday in
Mitchelville, MD as they enjoyed a gorgeous fall day and raised much-needed
funds for the Community Services Agency’s Emergency Assistance Fund. “On
behalf of those needy families who benefit throughout the year, thanks so much
for the support,” said CSA Executive Director Kathleen McKirchy. “Thanks to
all of you for coming out today,” said Metro Council President Jos Williams,
who extended special thanks to the 16th annual event’s sponsors as well as the
tournament’s organizing committee. Twenty-two teams participated, raising
thousands of dollars for the EAF. CSA raises and spends approximately $120,000
annually and assists about 350 families with emergency financial needs-
prevention of utility cut-offs and evictions, needed prescriptions,
transportation so members can keep working, food, child care and other
needs.
