According to club president Joe Chesney, “the net proceeds from all of our club’s fundraising efforts support community charities and Civitan projects that work to improve the lives of children and adults with developmental disabilities (“DD”) and brain related diseases and injuries.”
The GARC provides a full array of services and supports to people with developmental disabilities. Services are person centered and are designed and planned by the person receiving them, their families or people who know them best. The types and intensity of services are specific to the individual participant and are detailed in his or her Individual Service Plan.
Civitan’s motto is “Builders of Good Citizenship.” This is accomplished through a volunteer organization of clubs dedicated to serving individual and community needs, keeping focused on improving the lives of people with developmental disabilities. The three basic principles of Civitan (Service, Knowledge and Fellowship) are essential to fulfilling the Civitan mission and the role of a Civitan club in a community.
