Welcome to this edition of the Down Syndrome Support Newsletter!
| Thank you to Mr. Hendreckson for speaking to us about the importance of financial planning for our child with special needs. He has offered to return in Early winter to give the seminar again to those who weren't able to make it or those who would like a review. This month there is a New Mom Coffee scheduled for July 25. New moms, as well as veteran moms are welcome to come and chat while the kiddies play. Jennifer |
