Webmaster revealed and blog list is up!


Ok, so maybe "revealed" is a bit too dramatic! As a means of explanation, let me say that the webmaster term is just a generic word to mean the person that's handling and managing the website, or in this case, the blog. My name is Randa-Kay, RK to many, and I have a 2 1/2-year-old daughter named Braska who has Down syndrome. We've been involved with the St. Charles group of the DSAGSL since returning to St. Charles in May of 2008, moving back here from Champaign, IL. So when you email the DownSyndromeStC@gmail.com with pictures or content ideas or when you make a comment here on the blog, it's coming to me. Now you know!

Our fearless leader, Adrienne, is also right along side me in this little venture, of course!

We've added the beginnings of a Blogroll, a list of family blogs done by the families in our group. The link list is in the right margin, so be sure to check out what's going on with these families as another way of getting to know each other.

So far, the feedback we're getting by email and via the polls in the margin here on the blog tells us that the families in our group would really like to connect more with each other, getting to know the children and parents more than what generally happens at meetings, especially since so many aren't able to regularly attend the meetings. This is what we're working toward, and if there are other things we can provide or help with, PLEASE let us know!

Some things in the works for our group include fun family outings, great relevant topics for the meetings, and playgroup opportunities for our younger kids. Keep watching for more details!
