Celebrate the world -down syndrome day in Greater New Orleans

Well, World Down Syndrome -Day is just around the corner. And here in the Greater New Orleans region, several events are planned to celebrate and raise people with Down syndrome. Just go to us to talk more about Tori Farley, President of Down Syndrome Association, and Craig Blackburn, a self-representative and board member at Gigis Playhouse. And so, people, thank you for joining us. Thank you for having us. Why does the World Down syndrome Day celebrate every year on March 21 of a year? So it is celebrated every year because our people with Down syndrome have three copies of the 21st chromosome instead of two. And the 21st day. So March is the third month, the 21st day, three two, one. Oh, wow. And so I see that you have some funny statistics here in your hand. What is the meaning of the socks in Down syndrome world? Sockets such as chromosomes are shaped or chromosomes are shaped like socks. And they also encourage people to ask questions, which gives us the opportunity to find out and represent for Down syndrome. This is incredible. GREAT. So what events take place in the community to celebrate the day of the World Down syndrome? The Playhouse from Jay-Z organizes an event on World Johnson Day 321 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., including an art auction with art that was created by our population of people with Down syndrome. Okay, okay, wonderful. A sock fashion show in which the participants in their funny socks go the runway and an LED LED line. In addition, Ruby offers slippers on foundations free starters from French toast stitches to eat table, which on March 21, offers a start -up for the recognition of World Down syndrome. Oh, that's incredible. So we have Ruby slippers with the fun. A French toast. You make me hungry this morning. Is there anything else we should know before you go? So we will also have two proclamations. The first will take place on March 18 in the municipality of Saint Bernard, 3 p.m. in the building of the government complex. It will be a proclamation to make a day with Down syndrome and a special day in our community. And also on March 19 in Jefferson Parish at 9:30 a.m. in the Unity Building. On March 21, World Down syndrome -Tag and Jefferson Parish. OK. YES. And we would also like to give Folgers a special greeting to sponsor all of our day events for the world -down syndrome, and we encourage the community to wear their funny and non -matching socks. On Friday, March 21, to help, to educate our people with Down syndrome and their ability to spread and recognize what we do. Absolutely absolutely. Because they are so smart and incredible. THEY ARE. YES. IN ORDER. Well, thank you very much. If you want to be part of the main celebration, it will take place again on March 21st from seven to 9 p.m. in the Gigi's Playhouse in New Orleans.
