Wyoming Alumni Association Holds First Annual Picnic
Roseland, NJ, Aug 2, 2007 - Over one hundred people attended the first Wyoming Alumni Association Annual Picnic at Mike Cedar Park in Casper, Wyoming. Alumni of the Casper Re-Entry Center (CRC), Community Education Centers' 400-bed residential reentry center in Casper Wyoming, were joined by family and friends to celebrate their successful reentry.
"I am very proud of the journey these men have taken. To see so many living productive lives is a testament to efforts of all the staff at the Casper Re-Entry Center," said Jim Piro, Deputy Director at CRC.
The Alumni Association is comprised of former offenders who have successfully completed a CEC program. The Alumni Association assists these ex-offenders in their transition from treatment back into the community. As mentors, alumni are available to offenders, before and after release, to provide referral assistance and encourage them to set goals, find jobs, and utilize social services.
Under a golden summer day, many activities were provided for Alumni and their family and friends including swimming, volley ball, miniature golf and touch football. The grill was manned by Jim Piro. The prior weekend, hundreds of ex-offenders from across New Jersey gathered at Merrill Park in Iselin, New Jersey for the Alumni Associations' Annual Barbeque.
"I believe our first picnic was a great success and we look forward to carrying on the great tradition of the Alumni Association at our Western Operations," added Mr. Piro.
