Fall Has Arrived at The Arc!

Thank you to the Day Hab group for the wonderful job they did decorating the bulleting board at The Arc's Main Office! We're now ready for the Autumn season!

Thanks From the Ghouls at Camp Rainbow

The Arc would like to thank everyone who dared come out to Camp Rainbow for our Haunted Camp Rainbow (Creep Camp). Your support made this fundraiser a great success!

A very special thank you to our toxic campers as well. Thanks for frightening all those that attended this spooky.

Rainbow Preschool Student's Visit Brown's Berry Patch

The children from The Arc's Rainbow Preschool site had a great time on their field trip to Brown's Berry Patch on Wednesday, October 5th. The children were able to take a walk through the orchards, visit the animals and exercise on the playground. They also got a tasty treat - apple cider and a donut.

Thank you to Bob and Deb Brown for your hospitality!
