Castle Rock Community Group

Facilitated by:
David and Meredith Jacob

About Our Community Group
Our meetings are held the second Saturday of the month from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the Jacob home in the Meadows of Castle Rock, Colorado. Our group has just started in June of 2009.

We would love to not only meet once a month, but have some social activities outside of our regular meetings. Some possibilities are visiting the pumpkin patch, meeting at Westlands Park for play and a picnic, attending the Castle Rock starlighting event as a group in November, or checking out the Douglas County Fair together. The focus of age range for kids in our group is birth to 7 years of age, although any age is welcome.

About Our Meetings
Our meetings are open to family members and friends of children with Down syndrome. As our group grows, we will have babysitters present to help with the children, so the adults are able to more easily talk.

Our meetings are very casual and informal. We do try to have a small portion of the meeting dedicated to sharing what our loved ones with Down syndrome have recently accomplished and on what they are currently working. We would also like to have some speakers attend our meetings from time to time. Our goal for our group is to have a place where we can support each other through any challenges encountered and celebrate the accomplishments made.
