The Adopt-a-Soldier Platoon, a local non-profit that provides support to military "adoptees" and their units stationed overseas, held a dinner dance fundraiser on Jan. 12 at the Fair Lawn Community Center.

Inside Fair Lawn's Wayne Robbins attended the fundraiser, which featured a buffet dinner catered by Giovanni's Deli and music by Joe Zisa and Friends Band.

Wayne produced four videos from the event that highlight the special opening and closing presentations, with food, music and dance mixed in.
