Burbank Sertoma in a giving mood
SERVICE CLUBS
In addition to raising money for the Burbank Corps of The
Salvation Army and putting together Christmas baskets for three
Burbank families earlier this month, the Burbank Sertoma Club also
gave $500 to the Burbank Temporary Aid Center.
Executive Director Pat Smola attended a recent meeting to receive
the financial gift.
“This donation will go a long way toward easing the burden of
Burbank’s neediest citizens,” Smola said. “We appreciate it greatly.”

Foothill Civitans host center’s dance

Center dancing to the festive, red-hot music of disc jockey Ken
Barnes of Mainline Sound.
In addition to grooving to the tunes of Burbank’s own favorite DJ
and consuming refreshments provided by the Foothill Civitans, the 150
people that attended were treated to a visit by that jolly fellow
from the North Pole.

the Junior Women’s Club -- for over two generations,” club member
Mary Bernier said. “They have such a great time, and we love being
here.”
