Sixteen members of the Adult Day Program took a wonderful step and entered their art works into the Silver Dollar Fair. As a group they were recognized for the outstanding quality and skillfulness of their entries by winning ten ribbons. 
 

These included a first place by Robert Caddick, a third placement by Jan Loseth and a third placement ribbon by Matthew Martin for his delicious soda bread. Naomi Bisceglia won a fourth position for one of her paintings. In addition, Glenda Davidson placed fifth for her ceramic sculpture.

The Arc's Family Support Program offers several different support groups for families with special needs children. FOCUS, Spanish and Behavior.

 

There is a need to form a new support group for Far Northern Regional Center clients who have children ages 2 -16 years of age.

 

"We want to invite everyone to the Open House on June 17th to meet the FS Staff and the new families," shares Rene Tousant, FS Coordinator. "There will be drinks, appetizers and plenty of time to discuss the new support groups needs."

Donate your old computer to the ARC and Patti Thomas, Independent Living Program Coordinator, will make sure it goes to a worthy home.

 

Many ARC families can't afford a computer for their children, our libraries are cutting back on their hours and many of our schools have limited computer access.

 

 

Your donation of an old computer could open a whole new world to an eager bright child. With proper adult supervision a computer can help a child gain valuable skills and knowledge.

 

"Every child should have access to a computer," explains Thomas, "For research on school projects to expanding their world vision. Every children deserves a chance to learn."
