The Native American Day Wacipi at the

Multi-Cultural Center is just around the

corner.

This event features food, dancing, music

and educational opportunities for all.

An important part of the ceremonies is a

traditional Native American dance.

Invited drum groups include Iron Wing

and RHS Drum. All other drum groups

and dancers are welcomed. A meal will

be served.

We are honored to host this celebration

and we look forward to October 10.

See you there!

The Coliseum is more popular than ever

before. The commercial kitchen is a big

draw for many events and is included in

the rental price. The Coliseum is larger

than most banquet facilities in the area

boasting 9,400 sq. ft. of space on the main

floor: enough for 1000+ theater seating

and 400+ banquet seating!

The Multi-Cultural Center had a healthy competition at Escape605, where there are “live escape” rooms with puzzles, clues and plenty in the way of team-building. We had a blast.

Meet Katie. As a Job Skills Trainer and Rental

Coordinator, she balances several duties at MCC.

She plays a hands-on role with clients in our Job

Skills Program. Katie helps find job opportunities,

fill out applications, work on resume skills and

hands-on job skills, including cleaning, stocking

and food prep techniques. Katie also gives tours for

The Coliseum and coordinates the rentals for

events.

“I love that MCC gives me the ability to learn about

new cultures while helping people,” Katie said.

When she’s not working, Katie spends time with

her two-month old girl, Elizabeth, and keeps busy

with do-it-yourself projects. We are happy to have

Katie aboard the MCC team!

Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the heritage and long history of Latino and Hispanic Americans. It is observed in the U.S., Canada and Latin America.
