Brian Gustafson DEAR FRIENDS,

As we take this opportunity to reflect on The Arc of the Quad Cities Area’s achievements over the past fiscal year (July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016), we couldn’t be more proud of the accomplishments made by the individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities The Arc serves. For this reason, we would like to call this report Faces of The Arc because their achievements are the best evidence of our efforts. BARB GOETTIG, PRESIDENT

In this report you will meet some of the Faces of The Arc that have been our inspiration, helping us lead the way to:

• Expand housing for individuals with disabilities in the Quad Cities Area. • Work with area employers to open doors to individuals with disabilities and gain access to a vital pool of valued employees. • Provide crucial services to families at every stage of life and expand access to community-based services that are designed to promote and support individuals interests.

You will meet Cassandra who has expanded her horizons and gaining new skills while living at her new group home.

You will meet Kim who retained his job, a source of pride and income, after his employer transferred a contract.

You will meet John who is thriving because of his newfound skills in managing his autonomy in the community. MICHAEL GLANZ, EXEC. DIR The Arc of the Quad Cities Area is honored to be an integral part of their lives and many others. Through the Faces of The Arc, we hope you enjoy learning about how we touch the lives of individuals with intellectual and other disabilities everyday. We want to thank you for coming along on this journey and being a part of our success.

Barb Goettig Michael Glanz President, Board of Directors Executive Director The Arc of the Quad Cities Area

2 RESIDENTIAL

Cassandra Martin

here is a saying, ‘home is where the heart is.’ For The Arc of the Quad Cities Area, that saying rings true for the TResidential program, which provides supportive and welcoming homes for individuals with disabilities.

® With the closing of the former Heritage Fifty-Three location and the construction of five new homes, the Residential program is now providing services to an additional 40 people and others like Cassandra who love their new home, and many are working towards greater independence in the community.

Cassandra Martin is one of the Faces of The Arc. She is always quick with a smile. Cassandra moved to the new Schroeder House when it opened in August of 2015. She takes pride in her new home by assisting with chores around the house. Usually reserved, Cassandra opened up to participating in the Schroeder open house and ribbon cutting ceremony because she takes pride in her new home. Cassandra has expanded her personal interests by becoming a member of the Best Buddies planning committee, and was elected to the The Arc’s Board of Directors in 2015.

Cassandra’s future goal is to live on her own some day and become self sufficient. We are sure that with her hard work and the right balance of supports from The Arc, she will be able to achieve this goal.
