MB Adds Some Colour to Military Families Appreciation BBQ

Sept. 14, 2009 - Marketing Breakthroughs was happy to show its appreciation for military families any way it could on Sept. 12. With the Canada Retirement Information Centre (CRIC) inviting families from CFB Petawawa to join its client appreciation BBQ at the Government Conference Centre, MB helped organize the event and a few staffers then went the extra mile to make the afternoon even more special.

Caitlin Hines, Krystal Bevin, and Casey O'Brien (below) gathered some face paint and got down to work, dolling-up dozens of children with Canadian flags, flowers, and Spider-Man masks. With a constant line-up for their services, the trio stayed at work for most of the afternoon while stilt-walkers passed and bands played.

The event featured speeches by local Mauril Bélanger and John Baird, local Members of Parliament, as well as Lieutenant-Colonel Keith Rudderham, Base Commander at CFB Petawawa. There was a 'best dressed in red' contest, where attendees showed off their 'Support Our Troops' outfits, and free boat tours courtesy of Paul's Boat Lines-all this in addition to a delicious free BBQ.

The sun beamed down on the event all afternoon, ensuring a beautiful venue for the BBQ and boat rides. With its event-planning skills and a little face-paint, MB staff went beyond the call of duty to make this year's event truly special.
