| DSACT's "Share the Passion" Calendar ~ |
The Down Syndrome Association of Central Texas 2009 "Share the Passion" 12-month calendar will feature individuals with Down Syndrome sharing the passion with a central Texas celebrity. Share the Passion 2009 demonstrates that individuals with Down syndrome have the ability and the desire to engage in life-enriching activities and that they share this passion with others. Each picture will tell its own story about the individual with Down syndrome and the celebrity that they share the same passion with; and will feature a Down Syndrome informational quote on each monthly page. Every photograph will make you smile every time you look at those beautiful faces!! Share the Passion calendar is not only beautiful, but educational as well! 100 percent of the sales of the calendar will go towards educating the community on Down syndrome and implementing new programs for children with Down syndrome and their families. The Down Syndrome Association of Central Texas would like to recognize the great talents of Jean Louis at Jean Louis Photography. Jean Louis was able to capture the beauty of our children in this truly amazing inspirational calendar. Without her ability to create magic and her selfless work ethic, this project would not have been possible. We would also like to thank Susanne Gross with SmartArt Design for designing our calendar. Thank you for donating your time and superior creative services to create a beautiful design for the calendar. Thank you to Horizon Printing for printing our calendar. Thank you to Mary Catherine Gardner for designing our Gala invitations.
