We are Family Dance

Kate Bandura, Lookout Editor — Radar, the Esquimalt Military and Family Resource Centre’s (MFRC) mascot, looks forward to a good boogie woogie with you! On March 11, all military and veteran-connected families are invited to celebrate families of all kinds and honour military-connected children at the ‘We Are Family’ dance, hosted by the Esquimalt MFRC.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge the military-connected community, a chance to have fun and meet other families,” said Jackie Carle, Esquimalt MFRC Executive Director. “It is about families of all types having fun together and being recognized for their support.”

She said the dance is about celebrating family in all its forms. The evening will include disco dance lessons, prizes, activities, a hot and cold buffet, and a photo booth.

Carle said this is not a fundraising but rather a ‘friend-raising’ event, adding that Lisa Church, Community Engagement Manager, and the MFRC Community Engagement team, designed this dance to make everyone feel welcome.

“Our amazing group of Community Engagement volunteers will be there to ensure everyone is well-cared for and has a great time,” she said.

The cost is $38 per adult, while children can attend for free. Registration is online at cfmws.ca/esquimalt/events-activities/events/mfrc-we-are-family-dance.

Disco attire is encouraged!
