DRTC & West OKC Rotary Club team up for Fall Festival

West OKC Rotary Club members will celebrate the beginning of Fall with people with disabilities during an annual Fall Festival event at Dale Rogers Training Center’s (DRTC) main campus. The event, set for Friday, September 30, 2016, from 2:30-4:30pm will feature hot dogs, snow cones, music, crafts and games thanks to Rotarian volunteers.

*Rotarians serve DRTC clients at the 2015 Fall Festival.*

“DRTC enjoys our long-standing partnership with the Rotary Club,” said DRTC Executive Director Connie Thrash, M.Ed. “Our folks enjoy taking a break from work just like everyone else and the Rotarians put on a great event every year.”

District 2 Oklahoma County Commissioner Brian Maughan and Ward 3 Oklahoma City Councilman Larry McAtee will be among the Rotarians attending Friday’s event.

DRTC, a private nonprofit agency, has been in operation since 1953, providing training and job opportunities for people with disabilities both on its main campus (Northwest 23^rd & Utah Ave.) as well as in the community.

Due to confidentiality policies, some clients may choose to not be included in pictures/videos. DRTC staff will assist media members covering the event to respect these policies.
