Disappointment, frustration, and despair are all words we will use to describe this year for JTF Operations. We began the year with extreme excitement. We were almost completely booked for the spring and summer. By the end of February, we only had about 5 weekends available. We were set to have our busiest year in the life of our mobile business. Then came March. Everything went downhill from there. It is difficult to watch something you pour your heart and soul into just languish.
JTF Operations
JTF Opens with Limited Operations
COVID 19 pauses JTF Events
As with most businesses right now, JTF is not able to operate at this time. We have had a few events cancelled and postponed. Although this is a difficult time, we will all be back to normal when it is safe to do so. The most satisfying part of our business is seeing people of all ages have fun so we miss entertaining everyone.
JTF sailing the seas with NFL players
JTF spent the month of February working with our mentors at Leadership League on the high seas with former and current NFL players. Leadership League and their sister company Traveler’s Service organize and conduct cruises for three NFL fan bases - San Francisco 49ers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Green Bay. To enhance the experience, former and current players join their fans on board cruise ships.

Dodgeball Tournament Raises Money for Charity
On November 9, 2019, JTF hosted the Veterans Day Dodgeball Tournament at the Frostburg Armory. This was the 3rd year for tournament and JTF saw the biggest turnout so far. Eight teams participated in the tournament and the Armory was filled to the brim with spectators. In addition to dodgeball enthusiasts, Weekend Puppy Raisers from America’s Vetdogs’ program in WCI Cumberland attended.
