DIABETIC AFFILIATE WAITING TO BE BORN

From Ken Metz:
Hello to all CCB members.
I am interested in seeing if there is enough interest in starting a Diabetic Affiliate within CCB. There is a National Affiliate within ACB called ACB Diabetics in Action (ACBDA), and while we wouldn’t have to reinvent the wheel, we would be able to work on the State as well as the National levels to accomplish many of our ideas related to improvements in access related to Diabetes as well as hopeful solutions to meet the needs of persons who are blind, low vision and Diabetic, both Types I and II.

I have already spoken to Dee Clayton, the ACBDA President, and she has sent me their Constitution and Bylaws from which to create our own.

Please contact me at my e-mail address of kenmetz1946@gmail.com, or you can call me at (818) 882-3610-HOME or (323) 793-1805-CELL if you have questions, thoughts, or suggestions that we can pass around to determine what we’d like to accomplish. With enough interest, I will put a conference call together to get started with our organizational process.

Thank you for reading or listening
