On Saturday, March 3 the Association for Children with Down Syndrome (ACDS) will host its annual St. Patrick’s Celebration at the St. Agnes Parish Center in Rockville Centre. ACDS is also one of the 3 charities that will be a beneficiary of the 2012 Rockville Centre St. Patrick’s Parade.
Last year, nearly 650 partygoers from all over Long Island celebrated in support of ACDS programs for individuals with developmental disabilities and ACDS officials expect this year’s celebration to attract another large crowd of supporters.
Guests will enjoy the sounds of the NY Metro Pipe Band, Irish music by Martin Flynn, dancers from the Petri School of Irish Dancing and catering by Kasey’s Kitchen and Cocktails.
ACDS, located in Plainview, NY is dedicated to providing lifetime resources of exceptional quality, innovation and inclusion for individuals with Down syndrome, Autism and other developmental disabilities and their families.
ACDS has been providing programs and services in and around Long Island for 45 years. ACDS currently serves more than 750 children and adults, providing services that include Early Intervention and preschool special education programs, respite and recreation programs for children, teens and adults, adult Medicaid service coordination and seven supervised group homes in Nassau County.
