SUMMARY:Photoshoot - 2027 Calendar
DESCRIPTION:It’s Here….A Cherished DSNetwork Tradition Continues\nFor more than 20 years\, DSNetwork’s annual calendar has captured something truly special – the incredible spirit of individuals with Down syndrome in our community. \nThis isn’t just a calendar. It’s a celebration of joy and community. Individuals of all ages participate each year\, and their portraits remind us of the beauty of being fully ourselves. \nWe’re inviting you to be part of this year’s calendar. Whether it’s your first time or a family tradition\, we can’t wait to see you. \nPhotoshoot Dates\nJuly 31\, August 1 & 2 (Fri – Sun)\n10:00 AM – 4:00 PM\nDSNetwork Enrichment Center in Tempe \nTime slots are limited and will be scheduled on a first-come\, first-served basis. (We wish we could include everyone\, but due to calendar space\, we can only photograph around 90 participants each year.) \nOur professional photographer\, Neil Schwartz\, will capture your loved one’s portrait—and we’ll send you the best digital shots to keep and share—just in time for the holidays.  \nMark Your Calendar\nWe unveil the calendar at the Down Syndrome Walk Arizona during ASU Homecoming on November 21\, 2026. \nChoose a Day/Time for Calendar Photoshoot
