Your presence is critical.

We are asking all available members to attend in uniform and show strong support. Please plan to arrive no later than 1:30 PM so committee members and attendees will see our presence as they enter the meeting.

Last fall, we raised over $2400 last year for the MDA in collaboration with Athens-Clarke County Fire Department. Off duty members and on shift personnel gathered at college square and achieved much! We are happy to present the money to Georgia Chastain with the Muscular Dystrophy Association and look forward to this year's Drive!
