Member’s on January 25th, 2012 members
from Local #36, DCFD Emerald Society, Montgomery Co Fire Dept, Central
Maryland FOOLS, Northern Virginia FOOLS participated in hosting a dinner
for the Fisher House Foundation. Fisher House located at the Walter Reed
National Medical Center at Bethesda is a housing unit for Veteran
families to stay while their Veteran Family members are being treated.
We ended up providing a meal for 100 plus Family, Veterans and friends
at this event. This was another great example of our Pride and
Tradition in helping others. Local #36 would like to thanks all that
came out to help and to ask that everyone pay attention for upcoming
events. Coming together in solidarity only strengthens our
brother/sisterhood creating the foundation of our Union.
Thanks Again
