I volunteer on the board of directors for The Arc -- a local advocacy agency for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. For the second year, The Arc will be hosting a community dance, on Saturday, Nov. 7. I invite any who are interested to check out this wonderful evening -- it is a great time and the proceeds go to support the work of a long-standing Cincinnati charity:

Last year, October 03, 2008 was an incredible time. A dance with food, drinks, raffles, live music, and photo booths allowed many people of our community to relax in an environment designed for entertainment. Check out our Dancin' page! We successfully raised money for future advocacy and attendees left with great memories: "Dancin' With The Arc last October offered us a chance to get out and have fun, meet some great people and to support a great organization that does immeasurable good for many in the community. What more could anyone ask for? We are looking forward to Dancin' With The Arc this [year]! " -Alfred Joseph

There are high intentions for the success of this year's event. Join us!

"I was part of the planning committee, and brought two friends with me to the event. We all had so much fun! Both of my friends are excited about attending the event with me again this year! We danced, laughed, and talked to lots of new people. " - Mindy Freson

"What I remember about Dancin' With The Arc was the incredible energy in the room. Everyone had so much fun! My wife and I agreed that it was the most enjoyable evening we had spent in a long time."- Jay Allgood
