Your feedback is needed

We want to hear from you! The Winnipeg MFRC is administering a participant survey on behalf of the Director Military Family Services, and we need your feedback!

We want to hear from individuals or families who have used the MFRC’s services and programs within the last year.

The information gathered in the confidential survey will help us develop targeted programs and services for your family.

Everyone who fills out the survey will be entered into a draw to win a $100 restaurant gift card. The survey runs from January 2 to March 1, 2010.

The draw will take place on Tuesday, March 2. Stop by the MFRC, Westwin Nursery School or MFRC Childcare Centre to pick up your copy of the survey.

Sondage sur la participation au programmes

Yellow Ribbon Gala

On February 20, 2010, you can help the Winnipeg MFRC reach for gold! We will be holding our fourth annual Yellow Ribbon Gala at the Delta Winnipeg to raise funds for programs and services for our military families.

This year, the Gala falls during the Olympics, where all eyes will be on Canadian athletes going for gold, and many CF members will be serving our country.

We are embracing the Olympic spirit by having Lori-Ann Muenzer, the first Canadian to win Olympic gold in cycling for Canada, as our guest speaker.

Lori-Ann’s experience presentation is straight from the heart about inspiration and discipline – those mighty attributes that can increase your potential and strengthen your spirit.

Lori-Ann will take you on that success journey. We are also excited to have Marie-Eve Tremblay as our Mistress of Ceremonies.

Marie-Eve is a military spouse who moved to Winnipeg last summer. In her home province of Quebec, she is a renowned performer, having appeared in shows such as Cirque du Soleil’s Alegria, and many other regional tours.

The musical highlights of the evening will include Winnipeg’s own Air Command Band. The band is always a popular feature of the Gala, and feedback received each year is always glowing.

We are also delighted to have a drumline performance from RCSCC Crusader. This year, we are introducing tombola prize balloons, which can be purchased for $20.

During the evening, volunteers will deliver the balloons to those who purchased them, and the balloons will be popped to reveal the prize inside. Every prize will have a value of at least $20, and everyone who purchases a balloon will win.

Be sure to purchase tickets for a chance to win a VIA Rail trip to Edmonton, with a two-night stay at the Delta Edmonton Centre.  Tickets are 3 for $10, and can be purchased at the MFRC, 102 Comet Street.

The draw will be held at the Gala.  The winner does not have to be in attendance. Tickets are $100 each, and a tax receipt will be issued for a portion of the ticket price.

Tickets can be purchased at the Winnipeg MFRC, 102 Comet Street, Winnipeg, or through our website, www.yellowribbongala.ca.
