Adult Day Program clients & instructors teamed all their culinary skills and cooked up a huge feast for their Annual End Of Summer BBQ Bash!
ADP Instructor Kenny Otten teamed up with client Tara Bautista cooking the burgers and hot dogs while others worked in the kitchen dishing up deviled eggs, salad, brownies and other treats for all to enjoy.
Fun events are planned every month. In October there will be a Puppet Show, Pumpkin Patch field trip and, of course, a bit Halloween Party!

Music & Poetry ~ Alice Joy Rabut
Freddy Mercury
It's you I reach for
When you touched
My hand you pass right
through me and hear
your voice in my head
Hold me in your arms
I place my faith in your hands
Your angels wings are
soft and gentle
~ by Alice Joy Rabut
Alice Joy Rabut is a Butte College student who attends both Arc's Social Recreation Program and Caminar's Access Plus Program. She lives with her parents and siblings.
She is a real music buff and feels a spiritual connection to Queen's lead singing Freddy Mercury. "I am deeply moved by his love songs, " explains Alice with a sweet smile, "If I ever met him I would tell him he was a handsome and gifted man. He was born to be a singer. When I am down his music fills the empty spaces of my heart."
