VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES
VOLUNTEER DAY AT RYE COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL!
The Arc Westchester was excited to participate in a Volunteer Day event with their friends at Rye Country Day School (RCDS)! Individuals from the Chapter and singers from the RCDS’ acapella group worked together in a collaborative performance. “I want to echo everyone’s enthusiasm! It was so great … the students came in and said how much fun it was. Thank you everyone for making this happen!” said Mary Marcell, Director of Music. The 30 individuals from The Arc Westchester had a tremendous time, as the students of RCDS opened up the ceremony with a spectacular rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner. The talented acapella group went on to cover songs from Camille Cabello, Imagine Dragons, John Mayer, Eric Clapton, Ray Charles, and The Beatles. Several members of The Arc Westchester had their own opportunities to shine as well, singing Broadway and classic tunes! The group finished the day with a chance to engage with one another in fun conversation during a pizza party. “Our event was a true joy for everyone. It was wonderful for folks from The Arc Westchester to join with folks from RCDS in a community-building experience centered on music and fun. We all left smiling and singing and can’t wait to do it again!” said Rebecca Drago, Director of Public Purpose.
The Arc Westchester is always proud to provide fun, collaborative events like this for the individuals they support. The Chapter was thankful to the amazing students of RCDS for making it all possible. Their talent, compassion, and welcoming personalities made the day one no one would forget! “RCDS students are a class act and have been making a difference in our individuals' lives through volunteering for many years.” said Todd Bazzini, Director of Volunteering and Fund Development.
