I invited GiGi's Playhouse adult member group, called EPIC or GiGi's Prep, to my school to participate in the Alternative Gift Fair. They brought handmade items such as coasters, mugs and bath salts to sell to students, parents, faculty and staff that visited the fair. The Alternative Gift Fair gives students and community groups a chance to come to campus to sell items to give as Christmas presents that support the community instead of traditional presents.
EPIC or GiGi's Prep programs occur on a weekly basis at the playhouse and they help adults with Down Syndrome with career training skills, preparing them for the workforce. Many of the adults that have gone through this program have gone on to get various jobs in the Atlanta area. EPIC was able to raise $510 for Playhouse programs at the Gift Fair. Members of the group enjoyed the interaction with the Westminster community.
Java Joy also came back to campus with their coffee cart to sell products at the Alternative Gift Fair. The Joyristas were thankful to be able to connect with the Westminster community again to sell their products.
