Letter From the President
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
As I sit to write
my first letter as president
of Miss-ADE, I want
to first thank so many
of you who remembered
me during my recent
surgery. I am thankful
to have so many caring
and thoughtful friends
who helped make my
recovery go by quicker
with your calls and
many cards.
As your new president,
I want to make sure
that we are meeting
your expectations as
an organization.
It is my hope to have a
medication update
at each meeting, an update
from our national
organization as well as
a quarterly program.
If you would like to
present at a meeting
or know someone who
would like to, please
contact me.
As we near the holiday season, I hope that
you all are able to spend time with your
friends and family.
Please plan on coming to our January meeting
with lots of energy and enthusiasm to help
with our April conference.
Happy Holidays,
Melanie

Where: Schimmel’s (Jackson)
Program: Resource
Swap
Board Meeting: 10:00 a.m.
For our next meeting, we will have a resource
swap. Instead of a "cookie swap",
please bring 35 copies of a resource you
find valuable and feel like others would
as well. We will each briefly discuss what
resource we have brought and how it has helped
us. Then, we will each go home with 34 new
resources! Examples: How to order free glucose
tablets and where to go for a School Guide
for children with diabetes.
