We reach more than 4000 in in the community annually through educational outreach as part of our inspirational Hand Bell and Chime Choirs. Our History ARC was created in 1969 through the determination of Mary Schallert and Dixie Henrikson two mothers who fought for their daughters with Down Syndrome to become active members of the community grow up with their family and friends and lead meaningful and quality lives.
