All military personnel and their families are invited to enjoy a festive afternoon of fun activities for all ages followed by an evening of live Salsa and Merengue. Top local bands N’Klabe and Limit 21 are scheduled to kick off the musical entertainment at 6 p.m.

It’s just who we are.”
“The PenFed Troop and Family Appreciation Day is a wonderful way to show the military community how important they are to us,” said Fort Buchanan branch manager, Jenniffer Marrero. “If we can help with providing a relaxing atmosphere where the folks here can just enjoy themselves, we’ll have been successful in what we’d like to accomplish.”
