Maintenance building at The Arc gets a makeover.

Each Leadership Ormond class chooses a community project to perform, and the current class spent almost two days cleaning up and organizing the maintenance building at The Arc of Volusia, 100 Jimmy Huger Circle, Daytona Beach. The nonprofit organization assists adults with developmental disabilities in building skills, independence and education.
Leadership Ormond is sponsored by the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce. Individuals attend a series of half-day sessions to learn about government and business issues in the city. The current class ends May 7.
At the Arc, the class members filled a dumpster with trash, cleaned, painted and built a work bench.
“We’re giving back to the community,” said project co-chairwoman Mary Smith.
Mike Beauregard, in charge of maintenance at The Arc, said the help in getting the building cleaned and organized was overwhelming.
“I’m pumped,” he said, “I really am.”
