Dear Friends, All of us at ARC work to ensure that individuals with disabilities live, work and contribute to our community. In 2010, we touched over 4,700 individuals and families through information, education, advocacy and life planning programs. Throughout 2010 individuals served by ARC had small successes and major life changes. ARC was happy to walk with each individual and their family through these changes. We also had the opportunity to conduct focus groups with consumers, families, service providers, donors, staff and board members. It was great to hear from our most valued stakeholders who enthusiastically explained why ARC is important to them. Particularly, the consumers articulated so eloquently how ARC has made a difference in their lives. A few themes resonated with many. ARC provides a sense of belonging. ARC is here to work with individuals rather than for them. ARC offers a place to visit and call when needed. Truly, ARC and its long history of support are so important to children and adults with disabilities, families and our community. Our belief that

persons with disabilities have so much to offer our community allows individuals to achieve their dreams to be active, connected and inspired. Be active. ARC supports and encourages persons with disabilities to be out in the community working and volunteering. Be connected. Dispensing information to individuals and families, ARC connects individuals to critical programs and services that improve their quality of life. Be inspired. Persons with disabilities are leading the disability movement into the future. They are living, working and contributing to our community more than ever before. ARC’s self-advocacy groups encourage individuals to use their own voice and talents to make a difference. Vicki Spataro Wachniak Executive Director
