Buddy Cruise 2009
This past summer the traveling afghan got to go aboard the Buddy Cruise!
From their website:
Buddy Cruise Inc. is a not for profit organization serving families and friends of individuals with Down syndrome on a national level. It is our purpose to provide education and promote public awareness of Down syndrome by arranging and conducting special events, namely cruises. These events will be a forum for prominent educational speakers addressing a wide range of Down syndrome and disability related topics. We encourage self-advocate sessions. Buddy Cruise, ideally, will set sail each October, National Down syndrome awareness month, to honor those who are touched by Down syndrome.
Their mission is to provide educational opportunities and resources for families, while promoting awareness, acceptance, inclusion and advancement for individuals with Down syndrome through unique venues.
Here are a few photos of the 2009 event! I am awaiting some more!
Here is Mr. Piers with the afghan:

And the wonderful and talented Emily Perl Kingsley!!
