October is National Disability Awareness Month October is National Disability Awareness Month; therefore, it is fi tting that we highlight an agency that serves with excellence and integrity to enrich the lives of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities as they learn, work, play, and grow within the community. The Arc of Story County is an advocacy-based non-profit organization. The Arc is the largest advocacybased organization in the United States, with one of nine chapters in the State being located in Story County. We actively support legislation for each citizen’s civil rights; we encourage competitive employment; and we encourage our constituents to live as independently as possible while actively participating in a variety of sporting and community events. Volunteers are the backbone of our services and we encourage you to consider sharing your time and talents with us.

Constituents live, work and play in our community. They work beside you on the job, they ride CyRide with you, they enjoy the freedom of making purchasing decisions and they participate in a wide variety of recreation and leisure activities and competitive sports throughout
our community. The Arc provides learning opportunities and recreation/ leisure events in order for each individual to participate as independently and successfully as possible in our community. The Arc’s Active Lifestyles program provides year-round
competitive and recreational sports and relies on enthusiastic support and leadership from volunteers of all ages. Fall sports include bowling, flag football, golf and volleyball. Other sports offered throughout the year include basketball, cheerleading, bocce ball, track and field, soccer, softball, swimming and cycling. Weekly practices, scrimmages, and games prepare athletes for competitive tournaments throughout the season. Not only do we rely on volunteer coaches, we need access to affordable fields and gyms in Story County for weekly practices and competitions. The Arc advocates with local, state and federal representatives on important issues individuals and families face. Through advocacy training, persons with disabilities are able to have their voices heard at ARC, see page 5
