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.
