Membership Update

The Arc of Orleans County's 2011-2012 Membership Drive is coming to an end. Each year the Agency holds a membership drive beginning in February and ending in mid-September. If you have already sent in your membership, thank you very much! If you haven't The Arc needs you!

YOUR membership gives us a greater voice in Albany and can impact legislation and funding that provides crucial programs and services to people with disabilities. YOUR membership allows greater representation on NYSARC's Board of Governors. YOUR membership helps to insure that the needs and rights of people with disabilities are recognized at a local, state, and national level.

Membership cost begins at just $5.00 per person; friends of The Arc, individuals served, staff, and family members age 18 and over are eligible to become members. Two years ago we recorded a record number of members - 508 - and we hope to exceed that number this year. Please contact Denise Withey, Community Relations Specialist, to become a member at 585-589-5516 ext. 227 or email dwithey@arcoforleans.org .
