MULTI-CULTURAL HERITAGE DAY - DEPOT MUSEUM COURTYARD

 

16 September 2010
1400 - 1730
Depot Museum Courtyard, MCRD San Diego

Why we Celebrate?

This Multi-cultural gathering will honor diversity and celebrate our common heritage - the American Heritage. As Americans we epitomize unity through freedom. We are united in the strengths of diversity, a nation of great resources and opportunities, all of which can be attributed to the contributions and achievements of men and women of various racial, cultural and ethnic backgrounds. This event is intended to serve as recognition of achievements, a venue for education, and a day of cultural celebration.

 

Diversity is our strength

 

We are all diverse people. Celebrating our differences, as well as our common interests, unite and educate us. People all around need to understand and learn to appreciate other cultures and this is one way to accomplish that. Through each other's diversity we become more aware of our own. Not only do we become more aware, we gain a sense of pride for the diversity of our own culture.

For more information, contact GySgt Walker MCRD/ WRR Equal Opportunity Advisor

KETTLEBELL BASIC tRAINING


Ongoing
The Fitness Center, MCRD San Diego
4:30 PM - 5:30 PM Mondays + Wednesdays

Basic Training that requires functional, whole body, fitness. Kettlebells require the athlete to focus on whole body conditioning, because lifting and controlling a kettlebell forces the entire body, and specifically the core, to contract as a group, building both strength and stability, at the same time.

 

Kettlebell workouts engage multiple muscle groups at once; for this reason they are a great option for getting a whole body workout in a short time.
