On April 6 the Putnam Lions Club and The Putnam II Leo Club held their Annual Night of Giving at The Pomfret Audubon Center in Pomfret Center. This event gives members of both clubs the opportunity to present their donation checks directly to organizations and individuals in the community who require help with funding.
The Putnam Lions Club presented a check for $300 to Judy Daviau, the Arc Quinebaug Valley’s chief operating officer, and The Putnam Leos Club presented a check for $100.
“Thank you to the Leos and the Lions Clubs of Putnam for their generous donations to our agency. The Arc Quinebaug Valley continues to grow and thrive because of the generosity of our community. Your support of our mission allows us to help people who have disabilities to lead lives of passion and purpose.” said Daviau.
This gift will help to enhance services provided by The Arc for individuals with intellectual, developmental, and other life-affecting disabilities. “Both of these community clubs continue to make a difference at The Arc Quinebaug Valley and we are grateful to have their support.” said Susan Desrosiers, The Arc’s executive director.
In addition, the Killingly-Brooklyn Rotary Club donated $500 to The Arc.
