    Down Syndrome Support

     World Down Syndrome Day - March 21


    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

    Hello Families Network!  I just wanted to send you a quick email to let you
    know that Governor Corzine signed A4076/S2604 into law this morning.  This
    makes it official, and the law in NJ now states that the burden of proof is
    on schools districts in special education due process hearings.  Thanks
    again for all your wonderful work on this issue.  This is a huge success and
    a great example of what we can accomplish when we come together and take
    action!
