The holiday season approaches. For individuals with I/DD, holidays can be overwhelming or isolating.

The Arc promotes inclusive celebrations that accommodate sensory needs, communication styles, and support requirements. Everyone deserves to experience holiday joy.

Disability History Month fact: In 1970, only 1 in 5 children with disabilities attended public school. Today, inclusive education is the law.

Progress happened because people demanded it. The Arc continues this work—fighting for rights, access, and full inclusion.

Disability History Month:

Disability rights weren't given—they were fought for. The ADA, IDEA, deinstitutionalization—all hard-won battles. The Arc has been in this fight for over 70 years. History matters.

Veterans Day reminds us that service takes many forms. To all veterans—thank you. Your commitment to protecting freedom creates space for everyone in our community, including those we serve, to live fuller lives. We honor your service today and every day.

The Arc of Laramie County stands for dignity, inclusion, and the right of every person to participate fully in their community. These are the same freedoms our veterans fought to protect. To the veterans in our Arc family—those we serve, staff members, volunteers, and supporters—your strength inspires us. Thank you for your service.

Hello!
Your Arc calendar for November 7th - 14th has arrived!

As events begin to wind down for 2025, some fun things are coming up that you won't want to miss.
Last Dance Party of 2025 on Thursday, November 13th! It will be 80s themed. Those dressing in their best '80s outfits will be entered to win an '80s-themed basket full of goodies.

We are also heading to the movies on Friday, November 21st, and Arc Social Club finishes out 2025 with a fun painting party on Saturday, November 22nd.

Be sure to get all the details about bowling sign up, which will take place at Dinner and Board Games on November 19th. Please sign up for Dinner and Board Games so we have enough prizes and can give the Moose a heads up that there might be a large crowd for dinner.

Reminder: The deadline for ornaments for the tree at the Capitol is approaching quickly! Please take a look at the newsletter for details.

Looking forward to seeing you, The Arc Team
