On Friday, July 28, clients, volunteers and staff members of The Arc North Florida from Live Oak made a trip to Lee, Fla., to enjoy a picnic lunch and entertainment. The entertainment was provided by clients and some volunteers who took turns singing their favorite songs on the stage. The outing took place in the park located next to Town Hall in Lee. There were plenty of smiles all around and a few of the clients even showed off their dance moves.
