What's your resolution?

Like an old cliche, many of us have or will be making resolutions to improve ourselves in the new year.  Lose ten pounds.  Connect with old friends. Quit smoking. We spend so much time trying to change ourselves, that we forget about all the little things we can do to change the world.

Your membership with Ontario ARC does exactly that -- it changes the lives of people with developmental disabilties.  It creates opportunities that may not have existed for them before -- employment prospects, living options, recreational outings, transition assistance, transportation, and -- most importantly -- the chance to be as independent as possible.  Even though the holiday season is over, membership is truly the gift that keeps on giving.  Not only does it add power to our voices, it also increases our ability to effectively advocate to Albany.  This, in turn, ensures each individual we serve has every opportunity to live a full and robust life.

And, unlike other resolutions, membership is easy.  Membership runs from January through December, and automatically enrolls you in NYSARC, Inc. and The Arc of the US.  Is there an easier way to make sure your resolution is successful?

More information on membership, and the agency, is available at our Membership Information site.
