Dear Friends,

As many of you know, I have been helping to support the important work of Minute Man Arc for over twelve years.  I feel passionate about helping individuals with developmental disabilities reach their full potential.  I have seen the joy a parent feels when their toddler begins to talk and enters into classroom play, or when their autistic child begins to interact with his or her peers, and the sense of pride an adult feels when he or she is working in the community as a valued member of the work force.  I watch the staff of Minute Man Arc, with expertise and compassion, work with the individuals we support, helping them to learn new skills and reach new goals.

I am a part of a dedicated team of people all working together to “change lives and change communities” and we see the difference we make in lives each day--- but we need your help to reach our goals!  “Help” can come in many ways; through volunteering, through friendship, by joining us on May 3rd as we celebrate the work of this agency and walk through West Concord, or with a donation of any size to sponsor this event. 

Every gift, whether it is a gift of time, talent, in-kind or financial support, makes a significant difference in the quality of services we provide to individuals and families.

Thank you for your partnership, Betsy Thiel
