Greetings!   

This month's issue is packed with information about upcoming events, meetings and other issues that need your attention! Please read on to find out what is going on at The Arc!
Over 22K Raised 12th Annual Golf Tournament!
 
It was a beautiful day to hit the links! On May 12th, golfers Golfers 2010got out their clubs and spikes to support programs and services at one of The Arc's biggest fund raisers of the year.
 
Although times are tough, we were overwhelmed with the generosity of our sponsors, donors and golfers. As many organizations are canceling their major fund raisers, we were able to not only host our tournament, but we raised over what we raised last year! Quite a feat in this economy!
 
So thank you, thank you, thank you for your support! Stay tuned for stories on how this $22,000 is impacting the children we serve.
