Carlos cares about his community and is a prime example of a person with a strong work ethic. For starters, he runs his own housepainting business. In addition, he helps coordinate "Speaking for Ourselves", a self-advocacy group, volunteers for Habitat for Humanity, participates in Arc activities and fundraisers, and has just completed 500 hours of volunteer service at Lancaster General Hospital! Now that's dedication!

 

Brett, 22, loves music and action. From the rides on the boardwalk to playing in the Praise Band at church, he embraces life with enthusiasm. But it's his singing that he's known for, performing at graduation and other events. Brett honored us with his special talent by singing "The National Anthem" at our ARC Walk on April 18. Thank you, Brett!
