Join The Arc of San Antonio and the San Antonio Silver Stars for a free event where children with special needs will be able to compete for fun in three basketball activities.  Each child who participates will receive a Shoot for the Stars Certificate of Achievement and be entered into a drawing to win a signed basketball from the 2010 San Antonio season.  Two children will be selected in the drawing- one to receive a Silver Stars ball and another to receive a pair of tickets to the August 13th game. We will be joined by a Silver Stars player and the Fox for the drawing and presentation to the winners.

If your child has a physical or developmental disability and would like to participate in this event, RSVP by July 28th  to Liz Perez at lperez@arc-sa.org or (210) 490-4300 ext. 103.

On July 23, 2009, participants from The Arc’s Life Enrichment program attended a San Antonio Silver Stars basketball game. Gail Tondre, a 2009 Achiever of the Year for The Arc of San Antonio, was one of 5 fans who received a keepsake basketball from a player as the team came onto the court before the game. Congratulations Gail!

                                

The season of giving is here! A group of our young adults delivered complete turkey dinners to six San Antonio families.  Five of the dinners were donated by our West Ave. neighbors, First Assembly of God, and the sixth was put together with contributions from Arc participants and staff.  Thanks to all who participated and give back to our community!

                             
Tracy Wolff, Diana Liebmann, Claudia Storhoff, Jack Minter, Pam Stephens and Gordon Hartman cut the ribbon at the dedication of the Pam Stephens Center.

On October 1st, The Arc of San Antonio celebrated the opening of the Pam Stephens Center with a dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony.  This new facility is a second site for The Arc’s childcare and life enrichment programs for children and adults with developmental disabilities. 

The next goal for the Pam Stephens Center is to raise $280,000 to turn the former YMCA swimming pool into an accessible aquatic center for people with disabilities.  You can help by donating online with a designation to “The Pam Stephens Center” or mail your contribution to:
