  Skating for a Good Cause...
(4/6/2008) While they may live,fight fire and attend school in Maryland these days, a few members of the 112 house continue to put their best foot forward... even on ice. During the first weekend in May, Jim Butler, Dave Wierzbolowich, and Gregg Morgan played as part of the Hyattsville Volunteer Fire Dept Ice Hockey team and competed in the 4th Annual D.C. Firefighters Burn Foundation Charity Hockey Tournament.
The tournament featured sixteen teams of police officers, fire fighers and included a U.S. Secret Service team. All monies raised benefit the burn foundation, which is a non profit group that helps injured firefighters and burn victims in the Washington area.
