News from ACB Diabetics in Action
Are you a diabetic, or a spouse of a diabetic, or do you know someone who is a diabetic or is interested in knowing about diabetes? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to think about joining ACBDA. We are a growing affiliate, but we know there are more diabetics out there.
Our dues are $10 a year. The year goes from Jan. 1st to Dec. 31st. You can pay your dues at any time, though.
The ACBDA board meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month. We start at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time. The number to call is (712) 432-3675, press 1 to go to the main menu, then press 1 for rooms, then press 0 to enter the meeting room. Our meetings are open to all, but only board members can vote.
On the second Wednesday of each month we have a conference call on the same number starting at 9 p.m. Eastern. Everyone is welcome. We discuss many things and try to help each other out.
Talk with you next month. Be safe!
