The Arc of Madison Cortland thanks this year\u2019s members<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the time to submit membership numbers to The Arc New York approaches The Arc of Madison Cortland would like to thank everyone who has joined this year and invite anyone new who would like to become a member to do so now.<\/p>\n

Your membership helps support people with developmental disabilities in many different ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembership directly effects how loud our voice is when we go to Albany or Washington to\u00a0fight alongside self-advocates to support the BFair2DirectCare campaign as well as their battle<\/p>\n

for equal rights,\u201d said Joseph Kachnic, spokesman for The Arc of Madison Cortland. \u201cFor as little as $5, you can become a member of The Arc of Madison Cortland and directly improve the quality of life for people with developmental disabilities within Madison and Cortland counties.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFive dollars could buy couple gallons of gas that may be able to get a group to go horseback riding, go to a fair or go do something outside to that gets them involved with our community,\u201d said board member Joseph Zifchock. \u201cMembership is simple, allowing you to be as involved as you want to be. These are our friends, our neighbors, our family members, and we can’t let them fall through the cracks.\u201d<\/p>\n
