High up on the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee, The Arc of Cumberland County, was organized in 1975 in Crossville. While the area remains mostly rural, the county is among the fastest growing areas in Tennessee. The climate, natural mountain beauty, golf, lake and retirement communities attract visitors annually. Our chapter prides itself in making Cumberland County a place where people with disabilites are welcome and are a valued part of the community; a place where we all live, learn, work, worship and play together, networking with other people with disabilities and their families. Almost all our activities are accomplished by our 100 plus members and volunteers recruited from the community. A part time executive secretary staffs an office and completes the necessary business transactions for our organization.
