The walk will take place on September 25 from 8a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Celebrating almost 76 Years of Service from the Heart, Lake Oswego Lions Club continues to love and support the Downs Syn- drome Network of Oregon and we will be back to serve up our famous hot dogs and “Lions-burg- ers” at the 2022 Buddy Walk on Sunday, September 25th! Down Syndrome Network Oregon began in 2002 by two women whose children were born with Down syndrome. It began as a small group of par- ents getting together to share their experiences over coffee. It did not take long to realize the value of a support network of parents and caregivers who are raising a child living with Down syndrome or other challenges. Community members can con- tact the Volunteer Coordinator if anyone is interested in volunteer- ing to help. If you'd like to join a Buddy Team or make a donation, Lake Oswego Lions Club Buddy Team can be found at For more in- formation see https://dsno.org.
