This community-building celebration will allow Team McGuire to recognize its cultural diversity within the Air Force - a vital aspect to enhancing mission excellence and continuing its growth as America's premier joint warfighting base.

During the festivities, the contest winners will be recognized. Other features will include singing, praying and the arrival of Santa Claus. In addition, the Northern Burlington County Girl Scouts will sing carols and serve refreshments.
