MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. – Marines and families attended a picnic held for Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Aug. 17.
The event coordinated by Maria Lengerke, the H&HS family readiness officer, offered Marines and families resources both on and off the installation.
“We try to have a picnic like this during the summer time every year,” said Lengerke. “It’s easier for Marines to bring their families when the children are out of school. We can also give them school supplies donated by Dollar Tree and Operation Home front.”
Organizations and companies such as USAA, Red Cross, Marine Corps Community Services, and Military One Source, raffled off prizes and gave away beach balls, pens and informational brochures for Marines and families.
Carnival games were donated by the San Diego Rotary Club where people could win prizes. Free food such as cheeseburgers, soda, snow cones and pizza from Flippin’ Pizza was available for lunch.
“It’s really nice for Marines to be able to bring their families to things like this.” said Lance Cpl. Brian Roldan, an aviation mechanic with H&HS and a Las Vegas native. “There are so many things for kids to do and so many things for parents to benefit from.”
The annual event provides Marines and families the opportunity to spend time together in a relaxed atmosphere to build a strong support network.
