The Arc, Oneida-Lewis Chapter, is delighted to announce its 70th Anniversary Gala fundraising event on Friday, April 19th, at Hart’s Hill Inn in Whitesboro.

Today, The Arc supports 1,400 people across 50 locations spanning two counties.

 

The 70^th Anniversary Gala will honor esteemed individuals who have contributed significantly to The Arc’s mission, including longstanding board members Dr. Jack Kowalczyk and Ruth Ridgway and devoted community supporter Dr. Randy VanWagoner, President of Mohawk Valley Community College.
