Last week, our LARC family lost a very special member, Joni.
Joni joined LARC in 2021 and quickly became what many lovingly called the “Mayor of ADAPT.” Always dressed proudly in her LARC shirt and hat, she quietly welcomed everyone who came through the doors with an outstretched hand and a smile.
Joni loved LARC to her core. It was her community, her pride, and a place where she truly belonged. She also loved music, especially singing karaoke. Her favorite was “Elvira,” and when that song came on, you could always count on Joni to sing along.
Her family shared that she will be laid to rest wearing her LARC gear, something that meant the world to her.
She will be deeply missed by her friends, staff, and everyone whose life she touched. A piece of our LARC family is gone, but Joni’s spirit will always remain on the Happiest Block in Fort Myers. 💙

Today we were blessed to welcome 19 incredible volunteers from Cape Christian Serve Day to the LARC campus.
They rolled up their sleeves and got to work, spreading fresh mulch in our butterfly garden, raking leaves, cleaning windows, watering the garden, and scrubbing the bistro tables outside our cafeteria.
Because of community partners like Cape Christian, LARC is able to serve individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities every single day. Your willingness to show up and serve means more than words can express.
Thank you for standing beside our mission and helping keep the Happiest Block in Fort Myers shining. 💙

For Read Across America Week, we loved welcoming Tommy Bohanon, Katie, and baby Noah from the Tommy Bohanon Foundation to the LARC campus!
Tommy read Green Eggs and Ham, answered lots of questions, and shared fun football stories. It was a great way to end the week with a local football hero. Tommy gives so much of his time to our community, and we were grateful he took time from his busy schedule to spend the morning with us. 🏈📚
