    SPOTLIGHT ON ... Member Pat Davis ...
     
    who recently directed her attorney to see that The Arc of Aurora is designated as recipient of all memorial donations for both her and her daughter. It is difficult to plan for death; Pat has taken a big step in doing that, and that step will benefit the people with intellectual and developmental disabilities that The Arc of Aurora WILL serve. In her letter stipulating this designation, Pat said that she wanted to help "The Arc staff, like our advocate Nancy, keep doing what they do best: Making sure the intellectually challenged's rights have the respect and attention they deserve." In recognition of her recognition of the value of The Arc of Aurora's advocacy support and of her legacy to the future of The Arc of Aurora, our hats are off to Pat Davis! Thank you, Pat, for helping to insure future advocacy support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. You leave a legacy!
