CELEBRATION
The Arc of Shelby County celebrates grants and award
Vectren Grant Recently , a grant request was made to the Vectren company for $ 5,000 to help pay for rent for the SENSES Indoor Gym for several months . The Arc of Shelby County was recently informed that the grant had been approved and just a couple of weeks ago a check in that amount was received . The Arc is very grateful to Vectren for helping to continue serving the children and their families in our area .
Racino Fund Grant The Blue River Community Foundation helps administer the Racino funds received by the City of Shelbyville and Shelby County . The Arc had made a grant request for $ 5,500 to help pay for upgrading our computers , printers and software . Some of the funds are also to be used to help advertise and promote the SENSES Indoor Gym locally and a few other nearby communities . It has been confirmed that half of the amount ($ 2,750 ) has been approved by the city . The Blue River Community Foundation has been extremely helpful to us in helping grow and expand our Arc operations and we are more than grateful for all their help .

Holly Forville Selected for Award Fox59 Evening news anchor , Fanchon Stinger , presented Holly with the “ Hero of the Month ” award for her work in helping create the new SENSES gym . While Holly was very surprised and pleased about the selection , she was equally pleased for The Arc to receive the publicity the TV station gave to the importance of the gym to the children and families in our area . She was also pleased to let everyone know that her daughter , Cassie , and her brother , Bill , gave so much time and effort in helping to work on and create the gym . While Holly and Cassie created the design for the tactile wall , brother Bill did the great majority of the actual construction . This wall is the major reason the SENSES gym is unique and will never be copied exactly . This story and the presentation were made on Wednesday , September 21st and were shown several more times during that evening and the following weekend .
