(SAVANNAH, GA) Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society is partnering with Sunshine Pottery to hold the monthly family support meeting Thursday, August 17 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The event will be held in the Banquet Room located at 1525 Dean Forest Rd., Savannah, GA 31408. Please enter through the side entrance labeled “100A.”
Sunshine Pottery is donating a variety of pottery pieces to be painted during Thursday’s meeting. LDSS plans to auction the one-of-a-kind artwork at the 2024 Night of Champions. A “Certificate of Authenticity” will be created and presented with the pottery to the winning bidder for each piece sold. The certificate will include a photo of the child who painted the piece and their story.
Virtual attendees will be able to ask questions and have them answered in real-time by LDSS leaders and the guest speaker.
LDSS President Joe Marchese encourages all members to reach out to a fellow LDSS family they haven’t seen in a while and invite them to this month’s meeting.
“We’ve got lots of things to talk about and introduce to our families this month,” said Marchese. “LDSS will be involved in some awesome events and activities in the coming months and we want your support and participation so make sure to mark your calendars so you won’t miss out!”
If you’d like to have your child paint a piece of pottery, please email Lindsey at lbarron@ldssga.org.
Limited spaces are available.
