I love the stories of how the mentally disadvantage are being pumped up by organizations finding what they can do.


Hate to bring politics into it but that is a mantra of Conservatives in comparison to liberal merely wanting to give them a check and leave them on sidelines. Everyone needs to find self worth, whether mentally disadvantage or "normal". No one should made to sit on the sidelines of life.

We just got an application for our Old Town Day Royal Court
from a young lady with Down's Syndrome - and it was
approved unanimously! We'll reconfigure our float so that
she can be seated when the float is moving. I can hardly
wait to see how she blossoms!
