Fritz Coleman adds humor to luncheon
EDWARD HEADINGTON
This year’s Inter-Service Club Luncheon will be among the funniest
ever because the guest speaker is Fritz Coleman, stand-up comedian
and weather forecaster for KNBC-TV Channel 4.
Festivities begin at noon Oct. 15 at The Castaway. The cost is
$25. Luncheon host is none other than the Burbank Noon Rotary.
Those attending will be a “who’s who” of the service club circuit
here in Burbank.
If there’s one event you don’t want to miss this year, it’s this
luncheon.
For more information, contact Noon Rotary President George Mauney
at 842-3276.
“The Noon Rotary is pleased to be host of this year’s luncheon,”
Mauney said. “We’re looking forward to a good time and seeing a few
familiar faces.”
Burbank Noon Rotary meets at noon Tuesdays at the Burbank YMCA,
321 E. Magnolia Blvd.

Burbank Noon Lion recognized by City Council
Burbank Noon Lion David Gold was recently honored by the Burbank
City Council with the prestigious Older American Service Award as
recognition for his involvement in serving the blind community.
Throughout the past decade and especially in the past year, Gold
has taken on the responsibility of driving blind residents to monthly
meetings and social events in the area.
Gold also recruited one of his blind riders to the Lions Club, and
makes sure that he is able to attend regular Lions meetings.
“David’s contributions were not exciting or glamorous, but his
service deeply effected the quality of life of a handful of Burbank
residents,” club member Marva Murphy said.
Burbank Noon Lions meet at noon every second and fourth Thursday
at The Castaway, 1250 Harvard Road. For more information, call
Murphy at 955-8018.

International, was the installing officer and Randy Garcia, past
president of the Burbank Civitan Club, was the master of ceremonies.
