Teeing Off to Help Area Needy(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.
