(children talking)

00:09.470 --> 00:11.250
- [Shelby] There was quite
a crowd at Harbor View Club

00:11.250 --> 00:14.110
when they held their Family
Bingo Night August 19th,

00:14.110 --> 00:16.470
which was designed with kids in mind.

00:16.470 --> 00:18.320
- [Woman] Family Bingo Night came about

00:18.320 --> 00:21.729
because MWR and Sasebo tries to create

00:21.729 --> 00:23.750
a home away from home.

00:23.750 --> 00:25.710
I know that when we first got to Japan

00:25.710 --> 00:28.470
my kids were kind of lost,

00:28.470 --> 00:29.840
not necessarily homesick,

00:29.840 --> 00:32.300
they just didn't have any friends yet.

00:32.300 --> 00:33.870
And events like this,

00:33.870 --> 00:35.110
the parents are feeling like their kids

00:35.110 --> 00:36.760
are not coping very well.

00:36.760 --> 00:38.699
It's a big move, it's a huge transition.

00:38.699 --> 00:42.260
Events like this are good
to bring those kids to

00:42.260 --> 00:45.690
because it gives them
core places that they meet

00:45.690 --> 00:47.260
and they know they'll see their friends

00:47.260 --> 00:49.670
that they might not see all the time,

00:49.670 --> 00:52.958
or they'll meet whichever
new kids come to the area.

00:52.958 --> 00:54.920
(clapping)

00:54.920 --> 00:56.690
- [Shelby] Harbor View Club
plans to continue holding events

00:56.690 --> 00:58.470
like this in the future.
