GOLF, TENNIS & PICKLEBALL EVENT 

Rain Update

Thank you for planning to attend The Arc’s Golf, Tennis and Pickleball event September 25th. We have heard that they are predicting that there may be some rain – we are hoping that will not be the case, but YES either way, the event is still on. 

There will be indoor accommodations for Tennis and Pickleball. We have arranged for an extended cocktail reception starting at 4:00 pm with drinks and light Hors d’Oeuvres so if golfers get wet and want to come in early or if the club calls it, we have you covered. Bring dry clothes and take advantage of the beautiful locker rooms and excellent warm showers.

We will have more drinks and Hors d’Oeuvres coming out at 5:00pm for the intrepid players and folks arriving for dinner and we will kick off dinner between 6:00 pm and 6:30 pm depending on the weather.

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow - your support makes a difference for the people we serve!

The Marriage Penalty

Self-Advocate Diana Stolfo continues her tireless work to eliminate the marriage penalty. Diana and her fiancé Matt met at The Arc's CHILD Center when they were just infants. They want to marry but cannot because they will lose vital benefits. For Diana and Matt and others with all types of disabilities marriage can mean losing their care, their home and not having enough money to repair their wheelchair. H.R.6405 - the Marriage Equality for Disabled Adults Act would eliminate some of these barriers.  Diana tells her story in the first video and couples from around NJ gather for a commitment ceremony to shine a light on the issue in the second video.
