Tyrone's Founders Day Parade - 09/15/07
|
 |
Scott and some volunteers from the office marched in Tyrone's Founders Day Parade and distributed Frisbees and koozies advertising the circuit's Victim Witness Assistance Program. This program has been instrumental in providing information, assistance and support to victims and witnesses of crime in order to increase their understanding of, and participation in, the criminal court process. However not everyone knows that this valuable resource exists and utilizes it, so the Frisbees and koozies help get the word out!
