Thank you to all of our 2020 "non event" Golf Outing Sponsors and Donors!

Flying Shuttles artists will be featured in the Outsider Collective's show at Hope Artiste Village.

The 39th Annual Golf Outing and Live Auction has been canceled for 2020. Due to the uncertain times that we are living in, we felt it necessary to be safe and thoughtful of everyone involved with our one major fundraising event. It is not clear if crowds will be able to congregate above 50 people or if ideal conditions for a golf outing will be introduced by the end of this summer. Please check back for a new date for our Annual Golf Outing and Live Auction to be scheduled in the summer of 2021!

Look at the Arc family members---Marilyn, Moussa and Julia--- who are featured on the U.S. Department of Justice's website! Amazing accomplishments for all three.

The Awards Ceremony will be re-scheduled in the fall of 2020, TBA
