Project 321 Peel is a community that embraces, supports and inspires individuals with Down syndrome to live self-determined and fulfilling lives, as well as creating a supportive parenting network.
• Faith Bohn – Down 2 Cookie - @down2cookie
Faith Bohn is a proud mother of three, including twin boys who were both born with Down Syndrome. This drove her to launch her business- Down 2 Cookie, in 2019 with a plan to grow the business to where her sons can work alongside her when that day comes. Faith has also found a way to give back to the community she turned to when she needed it by giving 10% of all the profits made from Down 2 Cookie to Down Syndrome research and support. Down 2 Cookie is also working with the @aimprogram to hire her first helper- Daniel!

Join Paula & Jay over Tea & Coffee as they talk about the news of the day, life, and whatever comes up. Special Guest: Bruce Pardy
Folks,
Paula and I are beat after a long night showing The Shot and driving home.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Hi all,
Paula and I are taking a mid-week day off.
See you tomorrow with Frances Widdowson.
Stay warm, God bless.
Paula & Jay on the @TheLavigneShow are two of my favorite people. I am a supporter because I believe in their honesty, integrity & most of all their dedication to truth & the Alberta Independence Movement. I wrote a song about our quest for freedom, it is called My Alberta Home. You can find a demo of the song on my X page Michael Kosterman @MichaelKosterm2
We are headed into the studio later this spring to record a Radio Version of this song. Thank you Paula & Jay for all that you do. I will be coming to see you soon at one of your events! All my best & God Save Alberta!
