Participants in Northeast Arc's A Weekend to Remember Respite Program recently enjoyed a fun weekend in Boston! The group stayed at an AirBnB in the city before enjoying the Red Sox game against the Kansas City Royals. Everyone had a blast! Now in its second year, this respite program allows young adults, aged 16 through 30, to enjoy a respite experience while simultaneously gaining valuable skills needed for independent living.

Thank you to Suzie Travers from Davio's for hosting some of our residents for a fun event at MarketStreet Lynnfield! First the group enjoyed some bowling at King's and then enjoyed a delicious meal at Davio's. Suzie's brother receives support from NeArc, so our work is personal for her. Everyone had a blast!
