Dancing with the Stars and the Planets

Bobbie informed and invited us to her 19th production in 17 years song and dance extravaganza called "Dancing with the stars and the planets!".

Ms. Wallinger prepared the play for her group of over 100 developmentally disabled adults which is set to run October 9th, 10th, and 11th starting each day at 11:00 a.m. Bobbie firmly believes that visual and performing arts serve a vital role in self-expression to her actors and dancers.

Although admission is $6.00, the popular writer came only to invite our club and ask that those who plan to attend bring a can of food for a local food bank.

Bobbie Wallinger was introduced by Colleen Foster.
