Message
Dear Friends,
When The Arc of San Diego
first began in 1951, our
organization consisted of a
small group of parents and their children with
disabilities. Sixty years later, we serve more than
2,500 people with disabilities each year, have
more than 1,000 members, and work with
countless supporters and volunteers. Our growth
has been tremendous! But with growth comes a
greater need for resources.
Our members are one of our best resources.
Through membership we are able to improve
programs and facilities, but the benefits are
beyond financial. More members mean an
A Gift That
Changes Lives
The Arc of San Diego
is pleased to announce
we recently received
a $2 million gift from
Michael and Marie Hornik.
Mr. & Mrs. Hornik are
longtime supporters of
The Arc of San Diego.
Their daughter, Dana, who
passed away last year,
attended Arc’s programs
in North County for more
than 25 years.
“This gift is an excellent testament to the
incredible work done each day by our Direct
Support Professionals. The Horniks were grateful
for the services The Arc provided to their family
and welcomed the opportunity to help assist our
organization,” said David W. Schneider, President
& CEO of The Arc of San Diego. “We greatly
appreciate this support which comes at a time
when it is most needed and will have an incredible
impact on our programs and services for many
years to come.”
increased awareness about our organization
and our cause. It also means more strength
in legislating and advocating for people with
disabilities. And in the long-term, it means a
stronger base of support for future campaigns –
ensuring longevity and a successful future. Our
members are a very important asset.
As the Membership Campaign, “Every ONE
Counts”, kicks off this fall (see page one), please
consider becoming part of The Arc family by
joining at any level and encouraging others to do
so. Your support will benefit thousands of people
with disabilities in San Diego and will help us
send the message that Every ONE Counts.
David W. Schneider

Hope and Health
viva Las Vegas!!
Your support provides
opportunities for people
with disabilities to fulfill
personal goals, reach their
maximum potential, and live
as independently as possible.
Thank you for your belief in
The Arc of San Diego.
The Chula Vista Charitable Foundation, in its first year of grantmaking,
awarded two grants, one to The Arc of San Diego - $12,500 to Starlight
Center for Hope and Health for Individuals with Disabilities.
Casino Night at North Shores
Vocational Center on September
10th was an exceptional event!
The event helped raise nearly
$6,000 as guests participated
in classic Las Vegas style games
including Texas Hold ‘Em, Black
Jack, Craps, and Roulette. Guests
received $200 Arc bucks and the
opportunity to beat the house with
their skill and luck!
Gifts listed are from July
9 through September 13,
2011. While every effort has
been made to accurately
acknowledge all gifts, please
accept our sincere apologies
if we omitted your donation –
your support and generosity is
sincerely appreciated.
Hope and Health aims to lower the risk of chronic preventable health
problems of which adults with developmental disabilities are at
significant risk - heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. The program
encourages making healthful behaviors, such as getting more exercise
and eating healthier foods, part of the daily routine. To make fitness
and nutrition a true lifestyle change, Starlight will engage family
members, caregivers, staff, and mentors for support.
Consumers will also receive information, tools, and practical strategies
to help them adopt healthy lifestyle choices. Success will be measured
by weight loss, increased fitness, and stamina over 12 months.
Hope and Health for Individuals with Disabilities will serve 180
individuals with disabilities.

“This was a fun event. Everyone
had a great time,” said Area
Director, John McKee. “We are
grateful for their support and hope
to see more of you next year!”

Speak Out Loud
The Arc of San Diego thanks the Chula Vista Rotary Foundation for its
recent grants of $550 and $1,000 to Starlight Center for the purchase
of an iPad2 and special alternative augmentative communication (AAC)
software.
Our staff is excited about using the iPad2 as a learning tool to teach
communication and social skills to individuals with severe speech and
language problems.
Consumers press pictures, words, and phrases on the iPad2 and the
tablet “speaks out loud” their message...e.g., I want a drink of orange
juice pops up when pictures of a glass and an orange are tapped.
Proloque2Go, our AAC app of choice,
turns the iPad into a communication
device that converts text-to-speech.
We look forward to opening up a
world of possibilities for consumers
to communicate in ways they never
could before. Programs can be
customized to individual need, and,
the touch sensitive screen makes
it easier for those with dexterity
problems to use. This pilot project
will debut in the Activity and Adult
Development programs.

This Month In History
Oct 23, 1951
On this Tuesday night, 120 interested families and friends turned up at a
meeting organized by the Ocean Beach Junior Women's Club. The Club,
“determined to do something” for children with developmental disabilities,
extended an invitation for people with an interest, to meet at the Electric
Building in Downtown.
Oct 31, 1951
The San Diego Society for Exceptional Children was voted into existence, and
The Arc of San Diego, as we know it, was founded. No group ever started with
less - they had no money, no meeting place, no guidelines, no knowledge!
October 23, 2011
Today, on our 60th anniversary, we celebrate our humble beginnings and are
proud of our service to people with disabilities in San Diego County.
A Place to Call Home
The Arc’s Community Living Services (CLS) operates 12 beautiful, fully-furnished
single-family homes located in pleasant and safe neighborhoods around
the County. Interior and exterior living areas are spacious, comfortable, and
welcoming. Each home accommodates six residents and caters to a wide range
of age and abilities.
Our homes provide more than just a place to live - residents receive the
care needed to stay healthy, active, and independent. Staff assist with daily
living skills, including grooming, personal hygiene, cooking, cleaning, leisure
activities. and community participation.
Currently, we have vacancies in several homes with immediate
availability. Call Kristine Marvel, Program Manager, Residential Services, at
(619) 685-1175 ext. 244. Prospective residents must be affiliated with San
Diego Regional Center and have Medi-Cal or the ability to pay privately.
Big step forward
It’s been awhile since Byron Branch smiled so broadly or
walked so fast! 2011 has been a very exciting year filled
with many notable firsts and significant achievements for
this Arc consumer.
■
■
■
■
For the first time in his life, 62-year old Byron is living in
his own one-bedroom apartment! He has always lived
with family, but a year ago, at his annual review, Byron
set a goal to move out and be independent. His family
remains very involved and supportive.
Byron launched his campaign for Mayor of North Shores
Vocational Center, edging out two other candidates for a
win and a one-year term.
On Fridays, Byron volunteers at the Linda Vista Library for
an hour, dusting shelves and movie cases.
The highlight of summer...a fantastic vacation in Jamaica
with family.
Byron has been with The Arc of San Diego for more than
30 years, first at Sulpizio Family Center and, since 1993,
North Shores Vocational Center. Today, he attends the Senior
Program and his week is filled with activities. Every day, he is
out with friends, walking, shopping, and eating out.
At the Center, he learns about healthy choices and exercises
to help maintain his weight and strengthen his joints - Byron
has two new knees and hips! At the weekly Gavel Club
meetings, he hones his public speaking skills, advancing
from a timid speaker to a confident, compelling orator.
At The Arc, we are proud of Byron’s achievements and
pleased to play an integral role in his success.
summertime Celebration
Staff and family joined in some old-fashioned fun during
The Arc of San Diego’s annual Staff Picnic on Saturday,
August 6th at De Anza Cove on Mission Bay.
Approximately 360 people lined up to feast on a barbecue
lunch of hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, baked beans, pasta
salad, watermelon, beverages, and ice cream. Everyone
received a T-shirt with Arc Core Values on the back.

They all enjoyed the planned activities and participated in
spirited lawn games such as volleyball, bean-bag toss, bocce
ball, horseshoes, and LadderBar Golf. A special highlight,
this year, was the watermelon and pie-eating contests!
The Arc Staff Picnic was a great success on this casual,
relaxing summer day, with delicious food, traditional fair-style
amusement booths, and lots of prizes. Fun was had by all!
What A Summer!
Summer was a special time for 88 campers who, because of
generous contributions from our donors, were able to spend
a week in the Cuyamaca Mountains experiencing the great
outdoors and building wonderful memories!
Our campers had the time of their lives singing “The Bear Song”
at the All Camp Campfire, taking daily dips in the pool, hiking
trails, enjoying picnics under the branches of cedar trees, and
showing off at the Camp Talent Show!
A special thank you to all who gave our campers this opportunity
- more than half the campers attending Camp this year required
a scholarship.

The Arc of San Diego enjoys an exceptional relationship with the
San Diego Community College District (SDCCD).
For more than 30 years, through its Continuing Education
Disability Support Programs and Services, SDCCD has sent
instructors off-site to teach computer classes at The Arc’s North
Shores Vocational and Sulpizio Family Center. SDCCD has also
furnished software, specialized hardware, and computers for the
Computer Labs.
SDCCD instructors along with Arc staff bring an excellent level
of expertise as they use assistive technologies to get students
comfortable and gain confidence. Computers are equipped
with functional features including specialized hardware such as
alternative keyboards, touch screens, mouse-replacing switches,
all activated by head, nose, chin, or finger and software that
magnifies, reads aloud text, and writes with pictures or voice.
Students move at their own pace, learning independently, in
small groups, or one-on-one. Classes are held in the morning
and afternoon, Monday through Friday for three hours, and
include both lecture and lab components. Enrollment is limited
to 20 students.
High Performance
Every morning, wearing dark polo shirts, slacks, and UCSD ID
badges, Yvonne Sheldon, Calvin Gibson, and Roovelta McGee
accompanied by Direct Support Professional, Xavier Garcia, take
the bus from Sulpizio Family Center to their job at Cafe Arbor,
UCSD Medical Center’s Cafeteria in Hillcrest.
From 11:30 to 1:30 p.m., during the hectic lunch period, they
navigate between tables and chairs, painstakingly cleaning the
cafeteria's indoor and patio dining areas when diners are done
eating. The pace is very busy with the continual ebb and flow of
diners.
Yvonne, Calvin, and Roovelta are quick, careful, and extremely
courteous. The primary duty is wiping, cleaning, disinfecting, and
drying off table surfaces and chair seats, backs, and arms. They
also keep the constantly-used microwaves spotlessly clean. Every
morning, they mix cleansers and disinfectants in two buckets and,
at the end of their shift, discard, rinse, and put away supplies.
Good Sports. Scott Minion, Luis Ibarra, Joey Hitt Arc staff, Johanna
Carrillo, Peter Joanning, and Robert Sheehy rooting for the Chargers at
their last pre-season game. Adding to the excitement, Johanna, Peter, and
Robert were down on the field playing in a half-time exhibition soccer game
for Special Olympics.
In October, the trio celebrates their first year on the job!
Congratulations!
