World Down Syndrome Day 21 March 2009

What is everyone doing to celebrate this?

Cas

These should be listed on the NSW DSA website - we are attending both gigs at this stage

Sat 28 the baptist Church at Concord is having a T4321 and so is my church - All Hallows Catholic Churchat Five Dock - on the Sunday 11 am 29th Mar. They have had it there for a few years now as one of the other DS families in the area generally organise it. This year I have offered to help set up. There is a rumour that Gerard O Dwyer will be coming which would be nice.

On the actual day - DH and I are going out on a date to see the ACO [Pekka Kuusisto from Finland on violin ] perform I'll toast those fabulous people I have come to know with and/or as a result of the 'something extra'!

I just googled 21 march / Down syndrome and our site popped up, well this page lol

Look number 2 after Wikipedia

WOOOHHHOOOOO I'm trying to get it to come up in the search lol....

That sounds really great Shelley! I hope lots of people come and that even more are made AWARE I have such a busy weekend that I'm not doing anything and next week seems busy too. Wonder if the following weekend I could arrange a morning tea. That sounds like an idea

Cas

Google is amazing!! and yet scary Well, its getting more exposure for DSDU so thats good hey?

Anyways, for here in Brisbane:

DSAQ have organised a picnic tomorrow, from 10am to 2pm held at The Colmslie Beach Reserve, Murrarie. BYO picnic lunch but The Lions are supplying a small sausage sizzle. Visit from the Fire Brigade, and face painting available for a gold coin donation.

We are going to take Tori-Shaye along. Looking forward to it.


Hope you all have a lovely day

HAPPY WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY EVERYBODY!!

Apparently, DSAWA are having a picnic. I heard it on the grapevine lol.... I'm busy so not able to make it but it's PERFECT weather for it! YAYAYAYAY

We went to the DSAQ picnic at Colmslie Beach. Unfortunately, after I told Lisa I couldn't make it, she decided she had other things to do anyway. So I didn't get to meet her

Better luck next time I suppose.

I'll put some face painting pictures up later on....

Carolyn

Samara's 2 attempts! The first one was going to be a tiara, cos she's such a princess, but she hated the brush. So that came off, and was replaced with a rainbow!! So now, she's a rainbow princess!!



Bryanna (who was painted to match her dress, not that you can tell from this picture!) and Renata
Aren't they just awesome??! The others got done too, but their photos are only on my camera, so difficult to upload. Mahalia was a Dog, and Sara had a swirly pattern. You should have seen some of the ones there. One wee girl had a spiderman mask and the spiderman symbol on her hand too. It was amazing!

Carolyn

I love the photo's of Samara Carolyn. She is stunningly beautiful.

I couldn't make it to the Colmslie Beach do either as I am frantically organising the party we are having for Blake's 2nd birthday and my husband Craig's 30th tomorrow!!

Looks like it was a great day.

Kylie

DSAV have their family fun day next Sunday 29th March but otherwise I didn't know of anything going on here in Melbourne...

Are you going to go, Rebecca? We were planning to, so let me know if you do, and we arrange to meet up and say hi

Yes we are planning on going Jules - it would be great to meet you and the tribe!
