Ongoing Events


Boost Your Brain Power… Discover Your Brain Color and Support JDRF!

Do questions about your diabetes management drive you crazy or make you feel loved?

You will discover why, when you read What Color Is Your Brain?, a fun and fascinating approach to understanding yourself and others, written by Sheila Glazov, an award-winning author and professional speaker. This entertaining book facilitates effective communication and cooperation, while minimizing frustration in your everyday life—at home and work with family members, co-workers and friends.
 
Sheila’s son has had Type I diabetes for 23 years, and her family is committed supporting JDRF. Ten percent of the royalties from the sale of What Color Is Your Brain? will be allocated to JDRF.
 
For more information or to purchase a book, please visit www.sheilaglazov.com.

Help Lick Diabetes 2007
The 2007 HELP LICK DIABETES calendars are here!!! . Each month features a different breed of dog along with a diabetes fact to raise awareness and to help find a cure. Calendars can be purchased in packs of 20 at $5 each and are typically sold for $10. We would also like to extend the opportunity to other families and/or businesses to sell calendars as a fundraiser.

Anyone interested can contact Teamcamslam@aol.com or 219.742.5088. Arrangements would either have to be made for pick up or any applicable postage is to be paid by the purchaser. Orders smaller than 20 would be filled at $10 each and “all” checks (other than postage) are to be made payable to the JDRF.
