COMMUNITY INVITED TO JOIN IN ON BOWL-A-THON

For the past 17 years, the Glendale Assn. for the Retarded has hosted an annual fall Bowl-A-Thon.

This event allows businesses, service clubs, community and board members and clients — developmentally disabled adults — an opportunity to socialize and bowl together.

This year, the Bowl-A-Thon will be Sept. 21 at the Pickwick Bowl in Burbank. Lunch begins at 12:30 p.m. followed by bowling at 1 p.m. Participants can enter as an individual or as a team. Sponsorship levels are also available.

The association’s clients compete in the Special Olympics Bowling Tournament each year and are recognized as one of the top teams in the state.

For more information or to sign up, call Sharon Roth at (818) 242-2434.
