We just wanted to thank everyone who made it out to our Open House event last Friday evening. We had about 100 people show up, tour our recently renovated space, meet other Arc supporters, make donations, and purchase Arc memberships and tickets to our upcoming 14th Annual Arc Benefit Gala. Visitors were given tours of the suites, including a look at the Practical Assessment Exploration System (PAES Lab), where our students receive their classroom job training.
We even had some celebrities drop by. Carrie Guiden, Executive Director of The Arc of Tennessee and State Senator Reginald Tate were both in town Friday night and stopped by the office for a while.
Carlene Leaper, Executive Director at The Arc of the Mid-South thinks the event was a big hit.
“Our Open House was a big success and a lot of fun,” Leaper says. “With the countdown on for our Gala next month, this was a great way to reconnect with our supporters and show them some of the improvements we’ve made this year. Everyone I spoke with had a wonderful time and is excited about the future of The Arc.”
If you couldn’t make it out but would like to contribute to The Arc, you can do it from the comfort of your own computer. Tickets to the Arc Benefit Gala can be purchased at our Gala page. Donations can be made to The Arc through our website and clicking on the “Donate” button in the lefthand column.
Wow! Open House was AMAZING! the building looks AWESOME!!! THE ARC OF THE MIDSOUTH IS THE BEST!
