"Diabetic Screening Day", a update on...

I mailed my letter to the American Diabetics Association a week ago yesterday (i.e. 31 July 2004). I figured it would take until Tuesday (August 3rd) or Wednesday (August 4th) to be
delivered. Then, if they immediately acted upon my proposal and sent back a response, tomorrow (Monday the 9th) will be the earliest that I could expect a response. It will probably be considerably later as they will probably have to spend time conferring on when and if they can afford to send people.


On a different subject, I may have lined up a church to hold this screening event in. (Of course, the others on the Diabetics Education committee will have their opinions of where to hold this!)
I'll be discussing this with the Club Board of Directors this coming Thursday (the 12th) I've seen the manager of the local Dillions grocery store several times socially lately and I think that I
can hit her up to donate consumables. (i.e. latex gloves, alcohol wipes, needle puncture device, needles, test stripes and glucose testing machines) If she can't donate, I think I can talk her into selling them to us wholesale. (Since I'm not the most charismatic and certainly not a natural sales-person, I think I'll ask some more gifted people to make the sales pitch!)
