Next month I will be visiting and touring the Diabetes Research Institute for the first time. I have been wanting to do this for so damn long, but haven’t had much of an opportunity to do so until now. My parents are coming down to visit next month so I thought that it would be a perfect opportunity to finally take the tour and take my parents along with me. They will enjoy it a lot. Amanda will also be going to.
I can’t wait to take pictures and videos and report back on everything that I see in there. I have heard nothing but awesome things about this tour and I am so excited! Did I mention before that I am excited?
On to some other news. I received an e-mail from the JDRF Promise to Remember campaign today because I had signed up to volunteer to be a campaign coordinator, but unfortunately, well maybe not unfortunately, but somebody else has already taken this position. They also sent over a list of events that our local Members of Congress will be at during their August recess. This is awesome, I can’t wait to try and get to some of these events and attempt to get 5-10 minutes worth of of the Congress person’s time.
If you would like to see this list also and see find out where your Congress reps will be during their recess send me an e-mail or just send me a note in a comment or on the contact me page.
Way to go JDRF, thumbs up on this one. Way to help.
