Local #3217 MDA Collection a Success!

Gorgeous weather shined upon union members of Dulles and National Airports Labor Day weekend as they collected money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). Local #3217 was able to raise over $1000 for the MDA.

Local #3217 has been facing a number of obstacles in the MDA collection, including weather issues last year and severe limitations in when members could participate and where they could conduct the collections. The members of Local #3217 persevered, and came through for the MDA.

Special thanks go to Loudoun County and the City of Alexandria for allowing members of Local 3217 to collect money in their respective jurisdictions. Most importantly, Local #3217 owes a special thanks to those members who gave up their time to help out in this very important cause.

President Karl Liedke praised the surrounding locals for their cooperation and noted, “it was great to see IAFF members working together to accomplish the same goal.” At the end of the day our unions joined together to move one step closer to eradicating this terrible disease.
