You can count on us! Now is the time we count on you. You, our members and friends, are The Arc
Maryland’s most important asset. You allow us to maintain our financial stability and our strong
grassroots presence with elected officials, and thus our strength. We will need even greater presence
and strength to meet the challenges ahead, so hard-earned gains do not slip away. To stay up-to-date
during the legislative session go to our website at www.thearcmd.org or sign up for our weekly bill
status via constant contact.
We work to create a world where children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
have and enjoy equal rights in their communities. Together, we will continue to move forward.
For your convenience, we have enclosed a self-addressed envelope to return your contribution, or you
may donate online through PayPal at www.thearcmd.org. The Arc Maryland is a registered nonprofit
501©(3) organization and your gift is tax deductible.
Thank you very much!

Sincerely,
