Hi Mr.Geoff!

Just thought I'd send you some pics of your little boy again!

We're very thankful that Brett volunteers to visit the kids
Not only do they enjoy hearing his message

especially about kangaroos, crocs, etc!! ha ha!!

Hope all is well with you guys
Take care

For the last few years Curve players have teamed up with Sandi Smith, a local representative for 'Home Run Against Drugs', and visited local elementary schools

On May 7th and 8th, Curve Pitcher Josh Shortslef and Curve Outfielder Brett Roneberg visited Foot of Ten Elementary and Frankstown Elementary 2nd graders on behalf of the program

'Home Run Against Drugs' is a drug prevention program for elementary school children
Its mission is to promote healthy lifestyle choices among our nation’s youth by empowering them with knowledge and self-esteem to prevent tobacco, alcohol, and drug abuse

'Home Run Against Drugs' also involves guest appearances from major and minor league baseball players at the school assemblies

To find out more about the program, please call Sandi Smith at 814-695-5069 or Elsie Zengel, Director of Curve Community Relations, at 814-943-5400 ext.129
