Received the following message from Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department Director Keith Guerra:

On Tuesday, November 8th, the Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department hosted it's 3rd Annual PSD~Youth Center~Connect Basketball Game. The game was held at the Child/Legacy School Gym from 6:00pm-8:00pm.

Players on the Purple Team were represented by Public Safety Officers, an employee from the Child/Legacy School and a Superintendent from Roosevelt Landings.

Players from the Beige Team were young men from the Roosevelt Island community, ranging between the ages of 17-21, all of whom participate in the Young Adult Sports Program at the RIOC Sportspark Facility.

The Beige Team was victorious in a well played game by the score of 65-58. Players from both teams mingled over some food & refreshments after the game. It was nice to see the young adults interacting with the Officers from PSD in an informal environment.

Thanks go out to RIOC Board Member Sal Ferrera for his hospitality in providing the venue. Thanks also go out to RIOC Vice Presidents Fernando Martinez and Donald Lewis who were in attendance.
