Christmas Lighting Parade
Would you be willing to help us decorate a float and walk with us in the After Thanksgiving Parade when the City of Tempe lights up downtown for the holidays. We need people to decorate, walk and participate with us. This is one way that we can make the people in Tempe understand better who we are and what we do. Please talk to Collette Jones at 480-966-8536 if you would be willing to help. We need family and friends to be involved too.

Physicals
Do you need a new physical? - Please check with Ryan Kiser or Colette Jones if you are starting a new sport to be sure your physical is up to date. You must have a current physical in order to participate. Each physical is good for three years.
Volunteers to the Rescue
During September over 100 hours of time was donated to the recreation program by volunteers. The ASU women's Water Polo team volunteered by helping to decorate and set up for our dance at Rockin' R Ranch. What a great help they were.
Someone that deserves recognition is a new face around the organization by the name of Sally Berdt. If you have been bowling with the recreation program on Saturdays, you will know that she is the one who collects the money each Saturday. Thank you Sally.
By adding the time for volunteers at the Thrift Store, we had nearly 300 hours of wonderful volunteer assistance to help keep The Arc of Tempe providing the quality recreation program for the participants. Yes, we still need volunteers.
