The meeting began with Area Governor Eric Jolly swearing in our three newest members. Congratulations to Marybeth Whelan, Scott Latiolais, and Lisa Hebert. Welcome to our club
Our speaker today was Liz Maxwell from Gigi’s Playhouse. GiGi’s Playhouse was created to change the way the world views a Down syndrome diagnosis and send a global message of acceptance for all.
We understand that many families are first time parents, and they need us. Many young parents do not expect, or know in advance of their child’s diagnosis, and they need renewed hope and genuine acceptance from day one.
At GiGi’s Playhouse families are never alone. From a prenatal diagnosis to career skills, we make a lifetime commitment to remain by their side. Families are empowered with all the tools their child needs to succeed!
There mission is to change the way the world seed Down Syndrome through national campaigns, educational programs, and by empowering individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and the community.
There vision is to see a world where individuals with Down syndrome are accepted and embraced in their families, schools, and communities.
