ARC Rutland Area and the Elks Club are holding a Christmas Dinner Dance for people with Developmental Disabilities and their families. Good food, family and friends, music, dancing, gifts and Santa too, will be rounding out our afternoon. Please call as soon as possible if you wish to attend. People attending the dances in the past, have said they don’t feel as isolated, they feel more Joy, and it gives them something to look forward to.
Most people with Developmental Disabilities do not create circles of supports as well as children and young adults without disabilities. This Christmas Dinner Dance is to help create community amongst peers during the Holiday Seasons and possibly make new friends. On Sunday, December 18, 2016, from 12 to 4 PM at the Elk’s Legion on Pleasant Street in Rutland, ARC Rutland Area will provide this dance for people with developmental disabilities, their families and all others who are interested in Developmental Disabilities and would like to join us.
