A passport to good health
New resources
New to the Expo this year is The
Arc of Southern Virginia, which
advocates for people with intellec-
tual and developmental disabilities

Halifax and Charlotte counties. The
Arc also works to foster full inclusion
and active participation in the com-
munity for the enrichment of the lives
of these individuals and their families
by providing community education,
support, information and referrals.
Also taking part for the first time
this year is the Halifax County AIDS
Service Organization, which pro-
vides care, coordination of services
