So many do not know that we are a membership based organization. Our members give us a voice at the state and national level regarding issues for people with disabilities. The more members we have the more votes we have. You need NOT have a family member with a disability to become a member, you only need a heart to help us help those in our community keep receiving their supports and services that are so very much needed.
Please consider becoming a member today!! Contact stacy@jcarc.org for assistance.

A new documentary, Raising Renee, which chronicles one woman's experience caring for her sister with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) will premiere on HBO this Wednesday, February 22 at 8 p.m. EST.
The film follows Beverly McIver and her older sister, Renee, over a six-year period after their mother's death showing how they adapt to their new reality and confront the opportunity for Renee to live independently for the first time at age 50.
In recent years, the cable channel aired Monica and David, a documentary about the marriage of two young adults with Down syndrome and produced a biopic of autism self-advocate Temple Grandin.
"Recognizing and respecting differences in others, and treating everyone like you want them to treat you, will help make our world a better place for everyone. Care... be your best. You don't have to be handicapped to be different. Everyone is different!" - Kimputer, Kim Peek, inspiration for Rain Main.
If you do not know someone with a disability, then you really don't know what your missing!!!
