The DSAL (Down Syndrome Association of theLowcountry) Buddy Camp was held at Providence Baptist Church on Daniel Island last week.

A primary goal of the camp is to provide opportunities for the children with Down Syndrome to achieve success.

DSAL's mission is to promote awareness, inclusion and acceptance of all individuals.

The camp's focus is about fostering and improving relationships between the camper and the camp buddy.

This year the theme for Buddy Camp was "on the go."

What do people really think of having paid parking on Sullivan’s Island?
All for it, as long as residents get a sticker to put on their car to be exempt from it.
 
Why is this fair- I have been coming to the beach for years and I support your commercial district.
 
Sure, considering that the neighboring beaches, Folly and Isle of Palms, have paid parking. Sullivan’s can certainly use the revenue for the many projects they need completed, mainly installing the stormwater drainage.
 

What do you think of Sullivan's Island's new noise ordinance, restricting noise from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM?
Ridiculous -- what next, we will get fined to just walk in the commercial district?
 
All for it -- people cannot keep their windows open at night anymore because of the noise.
 
I am just going to go elsewhere to make some noise!
