Teen and Young Adult Valentine Dance
Your teen or young adult should look for their invitation in the mail sometime during the week of 1/18/16. If we missed someone, please let us know! They must be age 13 by the date of the party to attend.
Join us for a night of true stories about some of our first friends and enemies: our siblings. Storytellers from the “A Fierce Kind of Love” storytelling workshops will take to the stage with their true tales about how disability affects families. You’re invited to throw your name into the hat, and share your own story about a brother or sister too!

Please join us at the Annual DSIG Holiday Party for an evening of dining, dancing, and connecting with old friends and meeting some new friends. Of course, no holiday party would be complete without a visit from the big guy in the red suit!
Please RSVP responsibly to Megan Califano at [email protected] by Friday, November 23, 2018 (the day after Thanksgiving). We are unable to accept late RSVP’s after that date as we need to give the venue our count. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
We are also once again asking that each family bring $10 worth of non-perishable food items that evening, which will be donated to the St. Katharine Drexel Food Pantry in Chester, PA. This is our way of giving back to the community and helping those in need. If you do not have time to shop, monetary donations will be accepted as well. For more information on this food cupboard and their grocery list, please visit, www.orgsites.com/pa/skd/. We look forward to once again making the holidays a little brighter for our neighbors in need.
We will also be collecting the $10.00 DSIG Membership Dues at the holiday party for the 2019 membership year. If you pay at the party, you can have one item checked off on your “To Do List” for 2019. Checks should be made payable to DSIG and of course, cash is always welcome.

The next event is planned and we hope you can attend!!!
We will be renting a 50 person wagon at Linvilla on Tuesday, Oct 22nd! The wagon leaves PROMPTLY at 5:45. They ask that we show up 30 mins prior to the hayride to ensure everyone is on in time! I know my husband missed it the last time we did this event by literally a minute!
This event will be open to our birth-5 and 6-12 group.
We can only take the first 50 RSVPs. Please RSVP respectfully as the DSIG is paying $8 per person to attend, and other people would gladly fill the spots! 🍁🎃👻
