Local 245: A force in our community!

Congratulations to Local 245 for a tremendous showing at the 2009 American cancer Society's Relay for life in Dearborn. This past weekend about 50 of our Members, Retirees, Friends and Family came out to the Ford Performing arts center to walk in the 24 hour relay. Local 245 raised over $2,400 towards the overall total of $92,000 all this weekend. The money is donated to the American Cancer Society! In all there were 46 teams and over 500 walkers! Not only did we fight to find a cure for a disease that has touched everyone in some way...we were a visible force once again in our community! I wish to thank all of you that donated money, time or both to make our Team successful! I especially thank the community service committee...Kirk Clemens and Rick Mariles worked hard to pull this event together as well as many others! I also appreciate the support from a good majority of the elected and appointed representatives of our Local. It was truly a great weekend and I am extremely proud of our team and the good that was done at the Relay! GREAT JOB and THANK YOU to all who made it possible!!
