It’s all About the Families Published May 27, 2009 By Tech. Sgt. Todd Wivell 43rd Airlift Wing Public Affairs POPE AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. -- Bouncy castles, face painting, games, bingo, great food and free prizes is what the family fun night event at the Pope Club was all about May 19 as more than 20 Pope families attended the fun-filled family evening that guaranteed a good time for all. The evening began with a buffet of pizza, hamburgers, chicken nuggets, french fries, drinks and desserts in the back of the club. Two bouncy castles were placed out front, and a multitude of games were lined up through the main ballroom. The games where structured so that families had to work together to achieve an overall goal. For instance, in one game there were two giant footprints lying on the ground and families of three had to get on the footprints and walk them from one end of the ballroom to the finish line. It took all the family members to work together to get their respective footprints to move and was quite comical to watch. After these games, the families participated in ten games of bingo in which donated prizes were given out to the lucky winners. To the cap the evening off, families were given free prizes of squirt guns, glow sticks and other various toys as they left to go home. One of the best things about Pope is how it takes care of its families. From events such as this family fun night to the family picnics at Woodland Park to agencies such as the Airman and Family Readiness Center, which ensure families are taken care of each and every day. It's all about the families at Pope.
