ROC The Day is December 11, 2013

On Wednesday, December 11, 2013, The Arc of Orleans County, along with hundreds of other area not-for-profits, will once again participate in "ROC The Day", a day for our supporters - aka ROCstars - to give back by making a donation to an agency (or agencies) of their choosing.  Last year, more than $875,000 was raised in the 24 hour time frame!  

For more information and to see other participating organizations go to the ROC The Day website now.  And don't forget to make a donation on December 11th between midnight and 11:59 PM!

Shopping at Albion Rainbow Preschool

Rainbow Preschool has set up another great learning experience for the students. They have installed a little grocery store within the school.  The children get to learn the whole process from beginning to end.  There's even a scanner that makes noise while totaling up their purchases! 

Thank you to Jerome Pawlak for donating items for the store, including a shopping cart! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Arc of Orleans County would like to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!
