Who doesn't love a birthday party? What isn't there to love? Cake, frosting, singing, candles and being surrounded by friends, family and all the people you love -- those are all things that bring a serious smile to even the most grumpiest of faces.

Ann Lupo -- an agency volunteer through the Senior Companion program -- recently celebrated her 90th birthday. And to mark this special occassion, our Canandaigua-based community learning centers threw her a surprise birthday party inviting her Ontario ARC friends and family. Participants got together to make a healthy lunch of spaghetti and meatballs and decorated the tables with angel centerpieces.
We don't just have birthday parties for anyone -- Ann is a great friend to the agency. Her volunteer efforts give individuals in our programs the opportunity to one-on-one time in the community It also allows our staff to find more activities tailored to meet the needs and wants of participants. She is much loved by both staff and participants at the Congregational Church Community Learning Center.
Happy Birthday, Ann!
