MICHAEL SWAN: FORT LEWIS HOSTS CARIBBEAN-AMERICAN HERITAGE CELEBRATION >>>

OK, so the Caribbean-American Heritage Celebration Monday at the Cascade Community Club won't be a full-on wild bash that might occur at a beach bar in the Caribbean. It will still be fun I imagine.  Here is the press release to prove it …

Fort Lewis, Wash. - The I Corps and Fort Lewis Equal Opportunity Staff Office are hosting a Caribbean-American Heritage Celebration Monday at the Cascade Community Club from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.  The celebration is part of a month-long recognition of Caribbean-Americans.

Guest speaker for the event is Trinidad native, Command Sergeant Major, Althea Green Dixon, U.S. Army Medical Command Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Army Surgeon General.

Island Jamz Steel Drum Orchestra of Gig Harbor will entertain participants by creating the feeling of an island paradise with rhythms of steel in old-time classics, jazz, reggae, and calypso music.

There will also be cultural displays provided by the Fort Lewis Library Staff.
