BLUE CREW in Sarasota
Our first BLUE CREW recipients made their way to sunny Sarasota, Florida today for an afternoon spring training game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Cincinnati Reds. Gerry Felty, a Juvenile Probation Officer for The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, attended the game with two kids who have had brushes with the law. These kids were presented tickets as a reward for demonstrating good behavior.
The mission of the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice is to protect the public by reducing juvenile crime and delinquency in Florida. Gerry, thanks for going above the call of duty and spending time with these kids. You have a challenging responsibility and it means a lot that you would take time outside of work to reward these kids.
I would also like to express my appreciation to Rena Hunkeler, Assistant Chief Probation Officer, and Virginia Donovan, Chief Probation Officer of Florida's 12th Circuit for helping make this happen. We look forward to another visit from your staff and kids on March 29th.

Thanks for the opportunity you gave to me and the kids. It gave the kids an opportunity to see a professional game for the first time. Of course, they wanted to take in all the extras, rather than sit and watch the whole game. I am a long time Philly fan and got to sit behind Dallas Green and Vukovich. I had a great time while giving the kids a positive living experience.
Marvin, it was great talking with you before and after the game. I think it was a successful outing for all involved, except for maybe the Phillies, they lost the game.
