On Friday, Aug. 30, the Gregory and Suzie Glazer Burt Boys and Girls Club will hold its inaugural Burt Bash, and the Drake campus is invited to clap, cheer, and celebrate the start of the fall semester.
The Burt Boys and Girls Club opens with the start of Des Moines Public School, and for the first week the Burt Club staff will be welcoming new members. The Burt Bash will be the first Club party, and your presence will help kick-off the festivities. Simply show up on the 25th Street sidewalk adjacent to the Burt Club front doors, join the human tunnel, and warm up your welcoming voice. Kids will arrive by bus from their schools in two waves, roughly at 2:45 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. You are invited to join one or both waves.
