Gathering — Gaining — Giving

Friends of L'Arche Atlanta invite you to celebrate our progess
in bringing a L'Arche community to Atlanta in 2010.
Please join us at one of our upcoming gatherings!

We are excited to partner with St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church to hold
monthly community gatherings for people with and without disabilities.
Each gathering will include food, fun, and fellowship. We hope
that you can join us to find out what L’Arche is all about.

 


Sat., August 28, 5:30 to 8pm

Family Contra Dance & Potluck Supper

This is part of a series of social events on the fourth Saturday of each month for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities and others who choose to come and enjoy these times together. We hope that through this we'll all grow in the the spirit of L'Arche, which invites us to build relationships and believes that our differences enrich the lives of us all

We'll share dinner first - bring a dish to share.

Second Annual Friends of L'Arche Atlanta Golf Tournament!



Last year this event raised more than $20,000 for FOLA and spread the word about L’Arche to over 200 new sponsors.  We are looking for a few more golfers to be “ambassadors” for L’Arche and golf for a good cause.  Please email info@friendsoflarcheatlanta.org for more information or if you are interested in golfing or sponsoring a golfer.

"We became acquainted with L'Arche through our daughter, Cynthia, who was an assistant for three years in L'Arche in France. We visited her there several times and were immediately drawn into the community by the core members and assistants. We experienced a true home full of compassion, kindness and mutual acceptance. And every day seemed to be an occasion to celebrate! We knew would like to be a part of something like that in Atlanta and were delighted to join the effort to bring L'Arche to our city.
Deo gratias!"
