THOMPSON — Jan. 17 the Thompson Lions Club held its Annual Evening of Giving and presented a check for $1,000 to Susan Desrosiers, executive director of the Arc Quinebaug Valley.

Ryan Lajoie, Lions president, made the presentation.

 “We are very blessed to be part of such a close-knit community, where businesses, clubs and community members come together to support one another.  Members of the Thompson Lions Club have always been willing to help our agency, as well as better understand the needs and objectives of our organization. We truly appreciate their dedication to The Arc’s mission.” said Desrosiers.

This gift will help to enhance services provided by The Arc for individuals with intellectual, developmental, and other life-affecting disabilities.  Vocational, residential, recreation, day and retirement services offer opportunities for people with disabilities to reach their goals and be integral members of their community.

“The Thompson Lions continue to make a difference at The Arc Quinebaug Valley through their generosity and kindness, and for that, we are forever grateful for their support.” she added.
