The Arc of Orleans County is proud to announce that the Batt Family has been named the Agency’s 2011 Best Friend. Walter and Michele Batt, along with sons Robert and Aaron, and daughter-in-law Jenifer, have assisted the Agency in many activities and fundraisers over a span of 20 years. The Batt’s are always willing to lend a hand with fundraising activities including Rainbow Preschool, Medina Festival of Lights parade, and especially the Haunted Camp that has been held at Camp Rainbow for the past two years. Wally has donated time and other resources (trucks, live animals, electrical & power sources, farm machinery) to make our projects a success. He also assisted the Agency in designing fire and emergency plans and with his father, the late Bob Batt, helped The Arc develop its liability insurance portfolio and acted as broker for the Agency for over 20 years. The Batt Family truly understand the Agency’s mission and are truly “Best Friends.”
