Up with Orange County Self-Advocacy

This self-advocacy group meets the 3rd Wednesday of every month. The group elects its own officers, contributes significantly to the agenda of each meeting, and handles most of its own responsibilities. The Arc of Orange County is present to advise the group when needed. Past topics of discussion and learning have included fire safety, hurricane preparedness, fundraising for fallen firefighters, and planning group outings to the North Carolina State Fair.
