RSVP to DSALA by email to info@dsala.org or 818-242-7871
You can pay DSALA at the event, but you must reserve your space with the DSALA Office prior. Respond with your family’s name and number of adults (18 and over) and number of children who will join our group reservation. Give the full name of anyone with DS to request a raffle ticket.
Win a $50 gift card to Target. The drawing will take place right after the group photo and the winner must be present (we are sure that you have figured this is a ploy to get you there on time). The drawing is for our members with DS who have requested a ticket with their RSVP.
