My friend Jaclyn joined me recently in the photo on the left while visiting our studio. Since Jaclyn is a weather buff, I had the great privilege of being invited to pose with her for the 2010 Down Syndrome Association of Central Texas “Share the Passion” calendar.
I’d like to thank the DSACT for including me, and also for the beautiful framed photo of Jaclyn and me that I’ll be showing on the 5 o’clock news today.
I was one of a dozen local “celebrities” featured sharing our passions with area individuals with Down Syndrome. The calendar is a fund raiser for DSACT, and you can purchase one by calling 512-323-0808, or click here to order one online.
Here’s more information about the organization:

This is accomplished by the development of activities and programs that promote inclusion and acceptance of people with Down syndrome in our community. Formerly the Down Syndrome Support Group of Central Texas, the group was renamed in 2003.We serve families of children, teens, and adults with Down syndrome as well as interested professionals and an affiliate of the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) and the National Down Syndrome Congress (NDSC).Committees meet once a month to define, develop, and implement our programs and activities. Program ideas are presented to the Board of Directors at their monthly meetings for approval. The Board is also responsible for the strategic plan and yearly budget. We hope you find our website and organization helpful to you and your family.
