MADD National President Glynn Birch visited Tucson June 16-18 for a number of events, including MADD Pima County ’s annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon.

Glynn Birch joined more than 30 officers on June 16 as the Southern Arizona DUI Task Force set up a checkpoint on the Catalina Highway in Tucson .

On June 17, Birch was the keynote speaker at the luncheon, attended by more than 100 volunteers, staff and VIPs.

“It was a great honor to have Glynn join us for the weekend,” said MADD Arizona State Executive Director Chuck Heeman. “Glynn has been there for us whenever we’ve asked, and to have him come speak to our volunteers was very motivating for all of us.”

Birch emphasized the continued need for volunteers and congratulated the group on the ongoing efforts to which they contribute.

The weekend marked Birch’s third visit to Phoenix in two months. He also attended the April 22 “Strides for Change” walk and the April 28 “Making a Difference” law enforcement appreciation dinner.
