Americans with Disabilities Act (A.D.A.)

This landmark civil rights act went into effect in 1992. It is a significant step forward to make our society’s services and opportunities fully available to all Americans by combating barriers and prejudices that confront those of us with disabilities. RARA is committed to implementing the intent and spirit of this legislation. Those who may need assistance in order to participate and enjoy our programs should contact our staff at least two weeks in advance of registration to discuss any necessary accommodations or concerns.

Persons with disabilities are invited to participate in all programs offered through RARA. We hope that with our assistance, you will be able to create lifelong memories in our community.
