As you may know, the Guide Dogs of America is a worthy cause that was founded by a member of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. In January 2020, Tender Loving Canines Assistance Dogs merged with Guide Dogs of America. The Metal Trades Department is excited about this merger as Tender Loving Canines works to provide service dogs to veterans and individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. With this new addition to the organization, the Guide Dogs of America needs our support more than ever as they strive to provide assistance to those in need.
We hope that you can join us in supporting this important cause by sponsoring the 2022 Metal Trades Department Annual Charity Golf Tournament and also through your participation.
We are very excited to assist them in their admirable endeavors.
This tournament is sure to be a great kickoff to our Annual Metal Trades Department Conference events. Please return your registration form promptly or register online at www.mtdregistration.com and click on the “Golf Tournament” tab.
Should you have any questions, feel free to call Tournament Chairman James Hart, 202-508-3705.
Sincerely, James Hart, Chairman 2022 Annual Metal Trades Department Charity Golf Tournament
