Today's Sponsor Spotlight is shining on New2You/3 Doors Down Thrift Stores! We are so grateful for their continued generosity as they join us as a sponsor for The 17th Annual Williamsburg Landing 5k for The Arc. We are also immensely grateful to be their September beneficiary organization.

New2You and 3 Doors Down are sister thrift stores that operate on a unique model, as they are also a charitable organization and have a mission of providing financial support to local community organizations! Give them a visit to find your next "new" treasure!

For the past few years, Frothy Moon Brewhouse-Williamsburg,VA has been kind friends to and advocates for The Arc of Greater Williamsburg. From hosting our holiday food drive event in 2024 to our World Down Syndrome Day celebration last Spring among many other fun events in between, we're excited for our next event...NEXT WEEK! Thanks to the generosity of the Frothy Moon team, they've created "The Arc Anniversary Ale," a Blonde Ale crafted for celebration of The Arc's 50th anniversary this year.

Next Friday, September 18th, we'll be joining them from 4-9pm for a celebration and the big debut! The event will feature three musical acts by Arc friends Shanty Grass, Clan MacCool Band, and Winsome, delicious food available from Get Cheesy food truck, and all the amazing drink options from Frothy Moon, including beer, coffees, and sodas.

Proceeds from the sales of The Arc Anniversary Ale will go to support The Arc's mission of serving adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our community. We are so grateful to our friends at Frothy Moon, especially Conor and Jenny who have been fierce supporters and advocates for us. We hope you'll mark your calendars to join us for this fun event, and please help spread the word. We'd love to see friends old and new out supporting The Arc at a one of a kind location. We'll see you next Friday!

The Arc of Greater Williamsburg recently visited the James City County Police Law Enforcement Center as part of our Lifelong Learning evening programs. Attendees were treated to a presentation by Sergeant of Community Services Jimmie Reardon, Officer Kaylan Foster, and Master Police Officer Jeremy Morse, featuring a tour of the facility and time to ask questions and learn more about how James City County Police keep our community safe.

The Arc thanks James City County Police for allowing us this after hours tour and presentation. We all learned so much and are grateful to know more of the behind the scenes of the jobs of our local law enforcement professionals.

Our first Dancing with Bess event at our new building took place on Tuesday! As always, every participant was left smiling ear to ear after dancing with Bessie Williams, our dance instructor and Arc friend.

As part of our Fitness & Wellness programming, this is always one of the most popular ways to move and exercise with our community. As an added bonus, we got to celebrate the birthday of Austin, which was the sweetest way to end the night.

The best part of The Arc Aktion Club’s Cereal Box Challenge? Watching the 440 boxes collected fall like dominos to celebrate! Assembling this line of dominos was no small feat, and we’re so grateful for the help of William & Mary students to make our vision a reality!

Members of William & Mary Tribe Lacrosse and other William & Mary students, including our phenomenal summer intern, volunteered their time setting up for this one of a kind celebration. We’re so grateful for their patience and hard work - it truly paid off hearing the cheers heard around the room at the event. We’re extra grateful today to have the Tribe’s support!
