Check out our Photos Page for photos of Memorial's book Talk where parents, students and staff 
enjoyed a wonderful discussion of the book Sahara Special by Esme Raj Codell


The 3rd World Down Syndrome Day was be held on 3/21/08 (3/21 for the triplication of chromosome 
21, which is the cause of Down syndrome).  Down syndrome organizations around the globe 
organized events to promote acceptance and awareness of individuals with Down syndrome and to 
celebrate their achievements.  
 
Down Syndrome Support Network21: Supporting Families with Down Syndrome is a parent-run 
organization serving Central New Jersey.  We connect and support parents, caregivers, and 
individuals with Down syndrome and identify and share resources that can positively impact the 
lives of people with Down syndrome in our community.  We meet monthly (usually the 3rd Wednesday 
evening of the month), host quarterly Family Fun Days, fundraise for our local Buddy Walk, and 
share information and support via our website ( www.dsnetwork21.org) and online message board.  
All events are free.  If you would like more information about upcoming Network21 events, please 
contact Amy Geoffroy at 732-390-0108 (H), 508-740-6820 (C), or geoffroyamy@gmail.com.
