Dance Trance on Hwy 72 in Madison offers classes for special needs individuals. For more information call 256-325-2244 and ask about the Special Needs Session for cost, dates and times.
The Apple Pie Gang bowls on Saturdays between September and May with breaks for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  They meet Saturday afternoons at Parkway Lanes, from about 2:45 until 5:00, depending on how many bowlers are present.  The cost is currently $5.00 for two games and shoes if needed.  The bowlers come when they can without making a hard commitment of attending every Saturday. There are no age restrictions, but generally the youngest attendees are high school age.  At the end of the bowling year there is a banquet that is free for the bowlers.
