ADP 4th of July Celebration
Clients and Instructors in the Adult Day Program celebrated Independence Day with games, food and friends.
Many activities are planned for the ADP in August including their 3rd Annual Thrift Store Fashion Show!

The clients will be having their hair done before at Skyway Beauty Academy." shares Julie Larsen, ADP instructor, "It's a great learning experience and great fun for the clients, too."
All are welcome to the 3rd Annual Fashion Show on Friday Aug 22nd @ 1:30pm at Arc's Park Tower Pavilion, 2040 Park Ave., Chico.

"Fitness is important but sometimes joining a gym is too expensive," says Nelson Corwin, ADP Coordinator, "So we gathered equipment that was donated to the Arc Thrift Store and set a room in the Park Tower Pavilion."
Clients spend time on the fitness equipment while being supervised by instructors. "It's new but the clients enjoy it." shares Marion Jackson, ADP Instructor
