  • Helping People See the World Through Different Eyes
    Helping people see the world through different eyes... 6C Newsletter - December 2017 DG Steve Kinsky Chronology of a Lions Event Here’s a mini-chronicle of the Community Strides Walk for Diabetes held on Saturday, November 18. In reviewing what we did at each step along the way, I’m able to uncover some valuable information pertaining to the Walk that might make future ones more productive. August 14: I receive the Diabetes Awareness article for the MD6 Newsletter from Cyber’s Janice Smith and Chatfield’s Carol Louks. The article notes the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Tour de Cure event in early September and its Camp for Type 1 diabetes-afflicted youth, a JDRF fundraiser, some LCI tips on how to conduct a diabetes screening program and a blurb about women and diabetes. September 9: I attend Tour de Cure in Parker. Janice and I do the 3 mile walk. I notice numerous other diabetes advocacy organizations with booths. The event also features a bike ride with varying lengths - one as much as 100 kilometers. While we walk, Janice tells me of her annual Strides Walk for Diabetes. September 14: Several of us meet at the ADA offices in the Highlands to discuss how to organize a District-wide Community Strides Walk that would combine the best of ADA and LCI resources to raise money for diabetes. We conclude that the best way to do so would be to feature the young campers at the Type 1 Camp in Wood- land Park. September 15: The Mane Lioner mentions a planned presentation on diabetes treatment to be conducted at the Trinity United Methodist Church in downtown Denver.
