May 2023

Decor and signs crafted by the Garden Club everywhere!

What's growing in our garden this month?

Snap peas, onions, carrots,

and our first strawberries!

Stop by the Center to see how we're transforming part of the empty lot into a beautiful, usable space. Love to garden? We always need volunteers!

Day Program Outings

In 2022 ARC was extremely fortunate to receive a grant from the John Gogian Family Foundation that allowed us to purchase a wheelchair accessible vehicle. And boy do we use it!

Thanks to supporters like JGFF, ARC is able to provide meaningful experiences and joyful days for our program participants- no matter what stage of life they're in.

¿Como se dice?

Staff member Dorely hosting "Spanish Club" for program participants who speak Spanish, those who want to learn. They play games, learn vocabulary words, and have a lot fun!

Swim Club will be starting soon at the ARC pool

Choir Practice resumes

There's something for everyone when the Bell and Chime Choirs practice. Whether it's helping set up, playing instruments, or rolling up our music scrolls like the very happy Liette.
