Buddy Walk-Jacksonville, Florida

Greetings everyone!  It is that time of the year again where we join up and walk to raise awareness for all the amazing people living with a diagnosis of Down syndrome.  We have walked in Tallahassee the past two years, but we are changing things up this year.  We will be walking in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, November 3rd, 2012.  The event takes place from 11:30 am- 4pm at the Jacksonville Beach Seawalk Pavilion. The walk will be on the beach and is approximately one mile.  There will be entertainment, food vendors, carnival games, awards, face painting, inflatable jump houses, carnival rides, prizes, and music. This walk promises to be a fun time for all involved. The registration fee for each participant is $15.00.  You will receive a t-shirt to wear on the day of the walk (t-shirts cannot be guaranteed for anyone registering after October 11th).   Please visit the following link to register for the walk or sponsor a walker.

Pool Party

July 28, 2012 (Sat)

10 am- 2 pm

Hello everyone!  It has been awhile since we have posted and I hope that this summer has been a pleasant one.  It doesn't seem possible, but we are in the final few weeks of our summer vacation before the kids head back to school.  What better way to kick off our new school year by having a pool party!  Matt and Amy Reaves have graciously opened their home to host this event (they live in Hahira and directions will be sent out). 

We will grill hot dogs and have Chick fil A nuggets for the kids.  We are looking for other items such as chips, desserts, drinks, etc.  If you and your family would like to attend, please e-mail us at info@southgeorgiadsa.org.  Let us know how many people will be attending and if you are able to bring a food item.   

If you do have any safety flotation devices, please bring those also.  We will have a baby pool set up for the smallest ones also. 

We will resume our monthly meetings in August after school starts back up--the second Saturday of every month (unless otherwise noted) from 10am-12 noon.

Invite anyone who you think may want to attend and get ready for a great day of fellowship and fun with your T21 families!  We hope to see you there!

It's that time of year and our schedules are crazy!
We know that yours are too.
Because of that our May meeting is canceled.
The next scheduled meeting is for August 10th.

In the mean time we will be looking to hopefully have a "Back to School" Celebration.
Updates will also be posted throughout the summer on facebook, our website, and via email.
