A congratulations and an introduction...

Jody Thomas

Earlier this week, I was able to send out some great news to local news, television and radio stations.  Jody Thomas, our aging services and wellness manager, has become the 2013 chairperson of the New York State Third Age Committee -- a panel of experts who focus on issues facing senior citizens with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  Read the official news release to get the whole scoop. This is -- without a doubt -- a huge honor and everyone is very proud of her.  Congrats are certainly in order!

Jody has been with our agency for 18 years, and for the past seven years has devoted her attention to Ontario ARC's growing aging population.  Jody focuses on improving the all-around health and wellness of our senior population and develops programs and curriculum, among many other things. 

She'll be adding one more thing to her resume in the coming weeks -- blogger.  Jody will be writing blog posts here at Ontario ARC Speaks! about all of the really wonderful things we have going on that she's involved in; such as Food, Fun and Fitness, Sit-A-Spell, and all things aging-related.

As always, stay tuned and get the latest and greatest from Ontario ARC.
