Samuel Rees Recognized by the Arc

Samuel Rees of Nashville received the Presidential Award from Ruth Roberts, President of The Arc of Tennessee during the Tennessee Disability MegaConference Awards Banquet and Dance held Friday, May 29 at the Nashville Airport Marriott.

Rees is a businessman who provides lawn care for more than 90 people.  He has been moving lawns since his early teens and continues to attract new customers because of his expertise.  Recently he purchased his own truck and paid for the vehicle using cash.  Samuel's CPA told him he was the only person who made more money in 2008 than in 2007.  In addition to his lawn care business he is also the producer for his Dad's internet broadcasts.  He is very involved in public policy and regularly visits with his state and national legislators to discuss issues important to people with disabilities.  

The Arc of Tennessee is a non-profit, charitable organization. The Arc of Tennessee advocates for the rights and full participation of all people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.  Through our family-based network of members and chapters, we support and empower individuals and families; connect and inform individuals and families; improve support and service systems; influence public policy; increase public awareness; and inspire inclusive communities.

The yearly Tennessee Disability MegaConference is possible through partnerships and collaborations of many disability organizations and state agencies.
