The Chapters of the Arcs in Massachusetts present:

'ALL ABOARD THE ARC!'

Sunday, April 29, 2012

About The Arc & the AATA event:

The chapters of the Arcs across Massachusetts have been the leaders in providing services and advocacy for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities for over 50 years. The Arc's services touch 180,000 people through direct care, education, job training, job placement and advocacy. The advocacy efforts have affected laws that change the way people with disabilities are treated.

The 'All Aboard The Arc!' event is a chance to unite and celebrate achievements while raising awareness and funds within our local communities and across the state.

The 2nd annual 'All Aboard The Arc!' signature event is underway. Come aboard one of many buses leaving from The Arc chapter locations around the state. You will be destined for a lively entertainment program at the John Hancock Hall in Boston!
