Turkey, gravy, Stuffing, cranberry sauce, cookies, pies, eggnog and cider! The holidays are just around the corner and there's so much great food to be prepared, shared and enjoyed! This month, the DG invites you to swap one of your favorite recipes, even one that might not seem so healthy. Meeting participants will have a chance to adopt it as one of their own and/or suggest ways to make the dish more healthful and diabetically friendly. Let the feasting begin!

Hello CCB members. Just spreading the word that the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) for the state of California has a Blind advisory committee that meets quarterly.
Here is a link for more info https://www.dor.ca.gov/Home/Bac

The next meeting is November 19 At the Orientation Center for the Blind in Albany, Ca. It is open to the public via phone or public locations around the state.

I will send out the agenda as the meeting gets closer.
