San Clemente “Dancing With the Stars”

Six well known local San Clemente personages will be competing in a dance contest on May 19 to help find money for new cardiology machines at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center. The event takes place at the Marbella Golf and Country Club in San Juan Capistrano. The dancers are gathering pledges from members of the community and as of this date, have already exceeded $10,000 in contributions.

Contestants include the medical doctor/Internist/MD that my husband, Bill Koelzer and I go to, Dr. Steve Cullen of San Clemente Internal Medical Group: Adele Lux, owner of Adele’s Restaurant in the San Clemente Inn; Tony Carbonara, owner of Carbonara’s Italian Restaurant; Ernie Redmond, Dentist; Sandra Grifman, Psychologist, and Bob Burns, a certified financial planner with AG Edwards.

Each contestant dances with a professional dance partner, just like on the TV show, “Dancing with the Stars” does.

While the contestants mostly compete for the resulting wide public awareness of their businesses, the glory and the number of drinks that people might buy them if they win. There is even talk that practice sessions or a rebroadcast of the dance contest may air at some time on public access TV channel 30 for all of South Orange County to see.
Contestants can also win prizes. These include a trip to the Hilton Hawaiian Village, or a timeshare stay in Lake Tahoe, Mammoth, or Big Bear.

Contestants are fitting in as many practice sessions as they can with their dance instructor partners.

Tickets are already all sold out, but while I, Debbie, will be in Arizona on May 19, Bill wants to go to the event and so if you can sell us ONE ticket that you might not need, please call Bill at 949-496-4159.
