Thank You For Your Support - From The Arc of The Hill Country

 

On behalf of The Arc of the Hill Country, I would like to thank you for your support during this year.  Thanks to your support, the year 2015 was the best year in our organization history.  I am writing this letter to let you know how your membership and volunteer hours made an impact on the lives of those with developmental or intellectual disabilities in our community this year;

• We were able to host a Spring Talent Show, where over 30 talented clients proudly showed off their hidden talents,
• We held a Summer Theater Camp with 17 clients and showed off their theatrical talents at the Brauntex theater, 
• We completed a nine-week Fall Craft Workshop teaching basic woodwork and painting skills to 12 – 20 clients in each class.  In addition, the crafts made in the class were used to raise funds for future creative workshops, 
• We held monthly dance parties where members and clients enjoyed social interactions and a night of dancing,
• We received 10 monetary donations amounting to $6,835 and numerous material donations from various individuals and local business entities, and
• We received over 1,200 volunteer hours from parents, students, and board members to carry out the events listed above.
  
  

The above accomplishments would not have been possible without the support from people like you.  The officers and board members are planning an even more successful year in 2016 offering new programs/social events, and your membership and volunteer hours are instrumental in the success of this new challenge. Please contact us today to volunteer, or donate for this great cause.  I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season.

Sincerely,

 

Kim Ha
