Think Differently Picnic a Great Success!

The Arc of Dutchess was pleased to be a part of the Dutchess County Special Needs Picnic on Tuesday, August 15th. It was a great event and we enjoyed meeting all of the families that visited our information table. We are particularly proud of the individuals we support who volunteered to help with the cooking and serving of the lunch as well as interacting with families to talk about their experiences with our programs such as the Rec & Teen Club, employment assistance and Day Hab WOW. Great job!

Congratulations to Deputy Commissioner Toni-Marie Ciarfella and her team for creating an AWESOME fun day for children with special needs. Check out this link to the County’s web page with a nice video of the day’s events!

OUR Grand Marshal Elizabeth Ramsey with her very proud Mom!

On June 10, 2017 The Arc of Dutchess once again sponsored the Think Differently Dash, a one mile walk/run down Main Street in Poughkeepsie. Attendance was increased from last year’s inaugural race with a large turnout from The Arc of Dutchess team.

The weather was fine and everyone had a wonderful morning as the pictures below show.

The Arc of Dutchess extends our appreciation to Dutchess County Executive, Marc Molinaro, City of Poughkeepsie Mayor, Rob Rolison, and Suzanne O’Neil from the Walkway Over the Hudson for organizing this great event. And special recognition to the Many Volunteers who made this race possible! Thank You!
