Halton Down Syndrome Association will be releasing a 2017 Calendar and we want your child to be featured in it! HDSA invites VIP members of HDSA and their siblings to attend our professional photoshoot. Each VIP will receive a digital copy of their photo at no cost and will be featured in this year's calendar. Calendars will be sold in the fall as a fundraiser to support the many programs and services offered by HDSA. There is no cost to families to attend this event.
Please follow the links below to register for a preferred time slot:
Saturday, June 25th from 9:00 AM-1:00 PM
Wednesday, July 20th from 10:00 AM-2:00 PM
We ask that you please arrive a few minutes before your scheduled time and that you please notify us in the event that you are unable to attend last minute. In an effort to photograph as many families as possible, photos will be taken of VIP members ONLY and their siblings if parents wish. We would love to have as much participation as possible and ask that you please sign up by selecting a time slot. Photographs will be taken indoors so this event is a go come rain or shine.
Please contact Scott Hurren for more information at scott@haltondownsyndrome.com
