We had a great time at the gala again this year. It was held at Luckett Lodge in Brandon...really pretty place. We had a good time eating, bidding at the silent auction, watching the slide show, dancing, glancing at next year's calendar and catching up with everyone. I was also able to meet a couple of DS parents which was neat. I have connected with some new moms on Facebook, so it was great to actually meet them!
We did have a bigger group in support for Jack and I hope each year his team will grow!! It REALLY meant alot to me and Jeramy for everyone to take the time and spend the money for CMDSS. We would have never guessed we would be doing things like this, it is just great to have the support! Wonderful friends and family have been with us since the very beginning and we couldn't function without them : )

CMDSS Gala 2009
It is time again for the Central Mississippi Down Sydrome Society Gala. It is being held at Luckett Lodge on August 29th. There will be a silent auction, the premiere of the 2010 CMDSS calendar, entertainment by Hunter and the Gators and Marion & Gary Silber will be taking photos again at a special price to benefit CMDSS. Tickets are $50 per person in advance and $75 at the door.
My family and I had a great time last year and would love for anyone to join us this year!!! The silent auction was so much fun with great things to bid on...2 night stay at the Beau, football tickets, pottery, photo session with Marion & Gary, gift certificates to yummy restaurants and so much more! There was also dinner and dancing : ) We also have great family portraits from the gala taken by Gary Silber. Jeramy and I had a wonderful time and were very proud that CMDSS showcased Jack and others with DS with such respect, positivity and class.
Tickets can be purchased at http://www.cmdss.org/ or by contacting Shanna Lumpkin 601 487 6218 or 601 953 1340.
