‘Fall Frolic’ to kick off dance season
EDWARD HEADINGTON
Members of the Burbank Center for the Retarded will shake a leg when
they celebrate 30 years of dancing with the “Fall Frolic” -- the
first dance of the nine-month season -- on Sept. 12.
The dance, which is open to adults and teenagers with
developmental disabilities, will be from 7:15 to 9:15 p.m. at the
McCambridge Recreation Center, 1515 N. Glenoaks Blvd. Admission is $2
for dancers, and caregivers are admitted for free. Birthdays will
also be celebrated.
Several local groups, including the Altrusa Club and National
Charity League, Burbank Chapter, will be on hand that night and
throughout the season to host refreshments. The Burbank Civitans,
Burbank Noon Lions, Foothill Civitans and Kiwanis for Fun will also
be helping out.
Also present will be local DJ and Burbank Freemason Ken Barnes.
Barnes, who has spun songs for center dances in the past, has signed
up to do the entire season.
