Check out our new Website

Last Friday, we launched our new website. The new design is much cleaner and easier to navigate, and so far has generated rave reviews from its visitors. While the format has changed, much of the information has remained the same. You can also still purchase your Gala tickets or make a donation directly from our website.

Click here or the screenshot to check it out for yourself and let us hear your feedback. If you have any comments or suggestions, please email them to Mike Phelan or just leave them in comments. Thanks.

ADA Celebration Recap

Thanks again to everyone who made it out last Friday to the Hall of Mayors for the ADA Celebration. We had a great turnout and the feedback so far has been great. We had speakers from various local organizations that spoke about what the ADA has meant to them and how we can continue to build on that framework for the future. Some pictures of the event are below and you can view more of them here.

If you were able to make it down, we'd love to hear back from you about ways to make it better for next year's 20th anniversary. Give us a call at (901) 327-2473 or send an email to mphelan @ arcmidsouth -dot- net.

Open House at The Arc!

Come join us for an open house celebration!

You’ll get to see our newly renovated space, including the revamped Resource Library. You'll also get an inside look at what we do each day to improve the lives of citizens in the Mid-South with disabilities. Wine and hors d'oeuvres will be provided.

Plus, if you bring a friend, you’ll be entered into a raffle to win a pair of tickets to our Arc Benefit Gala on September 26.

For those of you who have never been to our offices, we're at 3485 Poplar Avenue in Suite 210, which is the southwest corner of Poplar and Highland.

Hope to you see then!
