Dear Friends,

I am glad to introduce our family support group for anyone touched by Down syndrome in the greater Savannah/ Lowcountry area. Candy and I joined with other families to start our support group in 2006. We quickly grew and now outreach to families in the eight surrounding counties. Our meetings are every 4th Tuesday of the month- typically with a guest speaker and social time for families to meet and interact with one another. We encourage people to bring their children. We are an affiliate of the National Down Syndrome Society.

We had our first Buddy Walk - which was wonderfully successful - at Forsyth Park in downtown Savannah in October 2006. Nearly 1,600 people came out to support Down syndrome awareness, and over 3,700 attended our sixth walk in 2011. Our eighth Buddy Walk is planned for October 2013.

If you have any questions or needs, please call or e-mail. To become an LDSS member, click here.
