Kaine to Rally NoVA Volunteers Saturday

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Tim Kaine, the labor-endorsed candidate for the US Senate in Virginia, will rally NoVA volunteers at this Saturday’s Labor-to-Labor walks (9a, 4536-B John Marr Drive, Annandale). NoVA President Dan Duncan expects “another big crowd” and reminds volunteers to please park at McGill’s pizza parlor next door and to “please remember to bring a canned or non-perishable food item for our food drive for Fairfax County public school students.” Saturday’s walks will concentrate on the Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William areas as well as Fredericksburg. The NoVA Labor office will open at 8:30a. “When walkers return to the Annandale office, IUEC Local 10 members will have the grills fired up with hot dogs and hamburgers, and the buns are being provided by BCTGM Local 118,” says Duncan. Fredericksburg walkers will still meet outside Ryan’s Restaurant at 1780 Carl D. Silver Pkwy, Fredericksburg 22401, at 9a. Contact Vance Ayres at 240-533-7625 or Melvin Carter at 540-455-6197 to let them know you’ll be walking/knocking with them. “Special thanks to sisters Dolores Gerber (CWA 2222), Roxie Mejia (Painters DC 51) and Cecile Conroy (Boilermakers) for all they do daily to keep the NoVA Labor GOTV effort flowing!” adds a grateful Duncan.
