The Arc of Larimer County’s 10th Anniversary and Annual Meeting

At The Arc of Larimer County, we are marking a major accomplishment this year – our 10th Anniversary.  In 2007, a small grassroots group of parents, individuals with disabilities, and community advocates came together to open our chapter and bring The Arc and the powerful advocacy that comes with it to Larimer County.  To mark this occasion, on August 29th, we’ll hold a 10th Anniversary Celebration in conjunction with our annual meeting.  Everyone is invited!  During the dressy casual evening, we will have a buffet dinner, a special guest speaker, and an awards ceremony to honor those who have Achieved with Us over the past 10 years.

Ticket reservations have closed.  If you have any questions, please contact Cari Brown at cbrown@arclc.org or 970-204-6991×23
