Happy Birthday Lisa Shultz!
The invitation read: “Bring your dancing shoes & your appetite for pizza!”
So on November 29th, that is just what my husband and I did. Art & Brigitte’s youngest daughter, Lisa (who has Down Syndrome) had her 25th birthday party. Guests were treated to live entertainment with Lisa and her girlfriends dancing to “The Chicken Dance” and “The Hokey Pokey.” Everyone had a great time with a great excuse to dance like nobody was watching.
Lisa (as always) had a blast opening up her gifts – such a thankful girl! With a barrage of movies, CD’s, clothes, art supplies, camera & scrap book kit, and more – she was all smiles and giggles. After our own interpretation of “Happy Birthday” (we really cannot quit our day jobs), Lisa blew out the candles and then the chocolate cake was delved out (yum yum!).
Happy Birthday little Lisa!

Salvation Army Thanksgiving in Ocala Florida
Art and Brigitte Shultz, together with their Down Syndrome daughter Lisa, served Thanksgiving Dinner at the Salvation Army in Ocala, Florida, on November 27, 2008. 
Lisa, who turned 25 years old two days after the Thanksgiving Holiday, brightened everyone's day by serving the dinner rolls and salads. There were 12 volunteers who made a difference in someone's life that day. We saw firsthand what the Salvation Army does locally with the money so many of you donate, especially around Christmas Time in the red kettles outside the department stores and grocery stores. Last year Lisa and Brigitte were bell ringers outside the K-Mart store on Silver Springs Blvd. and were grateful for the generosity of the citizens of Ocala who donated to this worthy organization.
If you want to know how you can help, you can visit their site directly at here - Salvation Army How You Can Help.
