Area Unions Brighten Children's Holidays(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Thousands of dollars’ worth of toys and financial contributions helped make the holidays brighter for many area children this season, thanks to donations from SAG-AFTRA’s Washington-Mid Atlantic Local. The local joined the AFL-CIO and its Building and Construction Trades Department and Helmets to Hardhats in donating toys and money to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. “Our hats go off to the local SAG-AFTRA members and IBEW members alike at WUSA 9” says the local, whose shop steward, Bruce Leshan, delivered their contributions to the local office. The local thanked their allies and supporters in the Toys for Tots campaign for helping “[give] the gift of joy and cheer to many local children this holiday season." - photo: SAG-AFTRA Local Co-President Julie Wright and Local board member Greg Roche shop for toys to donate to the Local’s Toys for Tots campaign; photo courtesy SAG-AFTRA Washington-Mid Atlantic Local
