Even in the wintry weather, The Arc of Essex County group homes are warm and vibrant places to be. Highlights in February for our residents included:

• Valentine’s Day celebrations, including balloon decorations and cardmaking for the Belmont Group Home, a party and gift exchange at the Linden Apartments, as well as a pajama party and visit to the Seton Hall Valentine’s Day celebration for the residents in our Marmon Apartment Program
• A rousing Super Bowl Party in the Verona Apartment Program, with delicious food and football décor
• “Man Cave Monday” at Studio Arc, where gentlemen from the Cedar Grove, Verona, Washington, and Beechtree group homes and Newark Apartments gathered to play Jenga, bingo, Uno, and other games together
