Murrieta Volunteers Make Valentine's Dance a Night to Remember for Special Needs Community

This Friday, more than a hundred adults of the local special needs community will be treated to a dinner-dance celebration in Murrieta.

The Rotary Club of Murrieta will again host their annual Valentine's "Sweetheart Ball," in partnership with the city and Care Rite.

Rotary Club Spokeswoman Linda Dozier tells Murrieta Patch that 140 people will dance the night away at the Murrieta Community Center.  She says those invited look forward to the special night all year long "... like a prom."

Dozier says many local volunteers help make the event happen, and provided the following description:

Dinner will be prepared by Rotarian Dawn Fujiwara-Pavlik of BAMM Promotions.  

Potter Productions, headed by Rotarian Larry Potter, will provide the entertainment and dance music.  

Rotarian Jann Gentry of Gentry Studios will take complimentary pictures for each of the guests.
