MDA on the prowl for some ‘jailbirds’

Local community leaders and others will gather together April 20 in a lockup fund-raising effort designed to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

In 2003, Warren County “jailbirds” raised more than $23,000 to help local children attend MDA summer camp, receive medical assistance with wheelchairs and leg braces, and benefit from medical research aimed at eliminating Muscular Dystrophy. The organization is looking to raise $30,000 in Warren County this year.

MDA “public defenders” will be County Mayor Kenneth Rogers and Edd Rogers. The “celebrity jailbird” is Register of Deeds Terry Smith. “Repeat offenders” include Gerald Austin and Jarren Newport.
