We had to share this letter that Northeast Arc participant Chianne Deegan wrote to her 97-year-old friend (and pen pal) Betty. In the letter, Chianne recounts a day spent in Boston with NeArc's Recreation program, highlighting the inclusion, joy, and opportunities we strive to make available to everyone we support. We hope this puts a smile on your face!
