Chief Noriega hands out a back pack
On Monday, August 17, PAL hosted its Annual Back to School Fair where 500 back packs filled with school supplies were given to kids. PAL also provided pizza and drinks and the event was a huge success! Over 300 parents and children showed up to pick up the much needed back to school supplies and back packs. The rest will be distributed to local Miami Beach area schools.
The previous day YDC and Explorer kids spent the afternoon preparing the back packs, forming an assembly line to pack all 500 bags.
A special thanks to the YDC and Explorer kids for their assistance in the event and giving back to the community in which they live. Also Lori Freedline, Ken Stowe, Jane Greenberg, Dov Knoetz, Karen Frye, Joey Daoud, Traci Sierra, Pete Socarras and Glaister who all assisted with registration, assembly, passing out the bags and clean up. Thanks to Chief Noriega and Asst. Chief Martinez for their support and assistance.

SENSATIONAL. WE CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON THE MIAMI BEACH POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE.
I AM VERY PROUD OF THE PROGRAM AND KNOW THAT THE KIDS LOVED IT.
