Please join Delaware County DSIG for a fun-filled time of bowling at Sproul Lanes in Springfield, PA on Sunday, February 19th from 1:30-3:30pm. This event is open to members of all ages. The attendee with Down syndrome will be free, however additional siblings will be charged $10.00. 2 hours of bowling, shoe rental, & light snack/drinks will be provided. Remember, your annual dues ($10.00) must be paid in order to attend the event. You can pay your dues and/or for your extra guest the day of the event; please bring cash.
RSVP by February 12th to Christa via text (610) 636-9872, or email [email protected]

As in the past, we ask that you RSVP responsibly. With the rising costs of these events, we introduced a new policy where you will be charged should you RSVP and not show up for the event. We understand emergencies and other situations occur however, the organization can no longer absorb the cost of these events when people are a no show.

For this particular event, we ask that if there is a change to your RSVP that you notify us within 24 hours of the event. If we are not notified in the appropriate amount of time, you will be charged the amount that the organization was charged for this event.

You will be required to pay that before you will be allowed to attend any other DSIG events. We hope that you understand how hard it was for us to make this decision, but this is our way of trying to keep costs down for our families. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your support in this matter.
