Contributed by Denise Allshouse As we kick off our 15th year of serving our loved ones with Down syndrome, their families, health care providers and educators, I thought it would be interesting for our members to learn a little bit about the founders of our great organization. In 1997, Ruth Hutchison called from Exceptional Parents Unlimited with a request for me to attempt to put together a group for parents who had children with Down syndrome. It took two years for me to feel established enough in the community to look for founders that might join me in forming a new society for our families. It also took that time to realize that not only did our families need a resource for fellowship and education, but that the healthcare providers and educators in their lives were in need of information relating to the best practices for people with Down syndrome. In the early months of planning the founders realized that it would be much easier to begin the organization with the legal work related to starting a nonprofit already in place. We met from April of 1999 until the first public meeting in August of 1999 laying the foundation for the nonprofit we know today as Down Syndrome Association of Central California. It was in January of 2000 that we received notice from the IRS that our nonprofit status had been approved and we never looked back. There were five founders, all with huge hearts for their loved ones with Down syndrome, who stepped up to begin the formative process of legally establishing Fresno Area Down Syndrome Society: Bobbie Coulbourne, Shannon Coats, Leslie Bergquist, Carmie Mullen, and myself. Bobbie Coulbourne, our first Secretary, brought some great talent to the table because of her background of working for a nonprofit. To this day, Bobbie works tirelessly for our families in her role of administrator of the Parent Training Information Center located at EPU. She is a great advocate for our friends with developmental disabilities in the field of education. Shannon Coats was Vice President of our first group. Shannon is a registered nurse who works in Tulare and does home visits with families who have a child with a disability. Just like all of our founders, Shannon’s enthusiasm stemmed from her desire to help families like hers who were lacking a diagnosis specific resource of information. Leslie Bergquist was our first Treasurer. Leslie contributed a great deal of information that helped to establish the nonprofit status because of her training as an accountant, and was instrumental in getting the accounting for us off to a good start. Leslie and her family moved to Florida shortly before we received nonprofit status. Carmie Mullen served as a founder because of her immense knowledge of our community. In 2009, Carmie received a unique recognition coined the Pioneer Award. Carmie’s contributions to the community in the areas of education and sports, especially Special Olympics, were barrier breaking. Her motivations were her two daughters, Deby and Kathy (sorely missed), both Olympians in their own right. Needless to say, her community resources were instrumental in helping us to establish the foundation of a well connected organization capable of serving so many of our families in the Central Valley. Many of you know my story. I am so very blessed to have been given the opportunity to help in the creation of such a wonderful organization. My husband Mike, a physician at Children’s Hospital, was joined at the hip with me in our quest to truly provide a quality resource for our loved ones with Down syndrome, their families, healthcare providers, and educators. I always tell people that there are five founding families because without the support of our spouse and/or families we would never have been able to pull off the work required to attain our goal of a establishing a Down syndrome society. Thousands of lives have been touched because of the work that was started in 1999. Many of you, from Modesto to Bakersfield, have played a significant role in enhancing the quality of life for all people whose lives have been touched by Down syndrome. Your loved ones with Down syndrome are truly grateful. With this in mind, please save the date and plan to join us for a joyful 15th anniversary gala to be held on October 25, 2014. For more information, you may contact me at [email protected]. 6 Una Mirada Atrás….. Contribuido por Denise Allshouse Como ya se acerca nuestros 15 años de servir a nuestros seres queridos con síndrome Down, sus familias, los proveedores del cuidado de la salud y educadores, Pensé que sería interesante para nuestros miembros aprender un poco sobre los fundadores de nuestra gran organización En 1997, Ruth Hutchison llamo de la organización Padres Excepcionales sin Limites (Excepcional Parents Unlimited) con una petición para mí, de tratar de formar un grupo para los padres que tenían un hijo con síndrome de Down. Tomo dos años para que me sintiera lo suficiente establecida en la comunidad para buscar a los fundadores que pudieran acompañarme en la formación de una nueva sociedad para nuestras familias. También tomo ese tiempo para darse cuenta que no solo nuestras familias necesitaban un recurso para la educación sino que los profesionales del cuidado de la salud y educadores estaban necesitando información relativa con respecto a las mejores prácticas para las personas con síndrome de Down. En los primeros meses de planificación los fundadores se dieron cuenta que sería mucho mas fácil empezar la organización resolviendo el lado legal de como formar una organización sin fines de lucro. Nos juntamos desde abril de 1999 hasta la primer reunión publica en agosto de 1999 formando los cimientos de la fundación que hoy conocemos come Asociación de Síndrome de Down de California Central. Fue en enero de 2000 cundo recibimos la notificación del IRS que habíamos sido aprobados como un fundación sin fines de lucro y nunca miramos hacia atrás. Hubo cinco fundadores, todos con un gran corazón y un gran amor por sus seres queridos con síndrome de Down. Así fue como se inicio el proceso de legalización para iniciar la Sociedad de Síndrome de Down del Area de Fresno. Bobbie Coulbourne, Shannon Coats, Leslie Bergquist, Carmie Mullen, y yo Bobbie Coulbourne, nuestra primer Secretaria, trajo un gran talento a la mesa directiva debido a su experiencia en trabajar para una organización no lucrativa. Hoy en día, Bobbie trabaja incansablemente para nuestras familias en su desempeño como administradora de la formación del centro de entrenamiento para padres localizado en EPU. Ella es una gran defensora de nuestros amigos con discapacidades del desarrollo en el campo de la educación. Shannon Coats fue Vice Presidenta de nuestro primer grupo. Shannon es una enfermera registrada que trabaja en Tulare y hace visitas en casa para las familias que tienen un niño con discapacidad. Al igual que todos nuestros fundadores, el entusiasmo de Shannon provenía de su deseo por ayudar a familias como la suya que carecían de un recurso especifico de diagnostico de la información. Leslie Bergquist fue nuestra primer Tesorera. Leslie aporto una gran cantidad de información que ayudo a establecer el estatus sin fines de lucro, debido a su entrenamiento como contadora fue instrumental en conseguir que la contabilidad para nuestra organización tuviese un buen comienzo. Leslie y su familia se movieron a Florida poco antes de que recibiéramos nuestro estatus sin fines de lucro. Carmie Mullen sirvió como fundadora debido a su inmenso conocimiento de nuestra comunicad. En 2009, Carmie recibió un reconocimiento singular del primer pionero. Las contribuciones de Carmie a la comunidad en el área de la educación y deportes, especialmente las Olimpiadas espaciales, estaban rompiendo barreras. Sus motivaciones fueron sus dos hijas, Deby y Kathy (que en paz descanse) ambas atletas Olímpicas por derecho propio. No hace falta decirlo, los recursos de su comunidad fueron instrumentales en ayudarnos a establecer la Fundación de una organización bien conectada capaz de atender muchas de nuestras familias en el Valle Central. Muchos de ustedes conocen mi historia. Soy muy bendecida por haber tenido la oportunidad de ayudar en la creación de una organización tan maravillosa. Mi marido Mike, un médico del hospital infantil, (Children’s Hospital) se unió a la tarea de la búsqueda por encontrar la manera de proporcionar verdaderamente un recurso de calidad para nuestros seres queridos con síndrome de Down, sus familias, los proveedores de salud y educadores. Siempre le digo a la gente que hay cinco familias fundadoras, porque sin el apoyo de nuestro conyugue y las familias nunca hubiéramos sido capaces de sacar adelante el trabajo necesario para alcanzar nuestra meta de establecer una sociedad de síndrome de Down. Miles de vidas han sido tocadas por la labor que se inicio en 1999. Muchos de ustedes, desde Modesto hasta Bakersfield, han desempañado un papel significativo en mejorar la calidad de vida para todas la personas cuyas vidas han sido tocadas por el síndrome de Down. Tus seres queridos con síndrome de Down están muy agradecidos. Con esto en mente, por favor anote la fecha y planea unirse a nosotros para un alegre 15th aniversario de Gala que se celebrará el 25 de octubre de 2014.

The primary objective of this course will be to provide adults with developmental disabilities information about relationships; the boundaries and responsibilities associated with them in a teaching setting that will respect participants' different learning styles and abilities. The curriculum includes lessons about different kinds of feelings and behaviors that occur in each kind of relationship, as well as discussions about appropriate public and private talk. We'll explore how relationships grow and move from friendship to a partner/sweetheart, and learn ways to talk about feelings and solve problems when in a relationship. The class will also explore how to identify if your relationship has gone bad and examine ways to end a relationship and deal with your feelings in a healthy way. Family values and sensitivity are of utmost concern and if concerns or specific issues surface during the course, it will be important to share those with either of the course facilitators. Throughout this course, participants will have topics that are designed to promote and encourage family discussions. We hope that you will support this process and be an active participant! Weekly sessions are scheduled to begin: Thursday, March 6, 2014 from 5:00-6:15 pm and will continue for 8 weeks (every Thursday) The course will be limited to ten participants. *Relationship training is FREE for participants We will consider adding an additional class time if there are more than 10 interested participants so please request to be on the waiting list if the class does fill.
