Message From Our Executive Director
By Andrew P. Mandell -
Mr. Diabetes®
February 2010
February is American Heart Month. As you read this UPDATE you will learn heart healthy tips.
On February 2nd Puxatony Phil, our national “winter weather guru” stuck his head out of his groundhog hole and saw his shadow. So, that means we have only six more weeks of winter. Pay heed, folks.
In six more weeks we’ll be shedding our heavy winter garb and we’ll all be thinking SPRING. Yes!! And that means we’ll be shifting our activities away from our TV’s and computers in favor of our backyards, parks and playgrounds. It’s a great idea to begin preparing (or continuing) those healthy life habits in anticipation of better enjoying all those outdoor activities. More
Homeless Veterans
Stand Down 2009
Manatee County Fairgrounds
Palmetto, Florida
This annual event is a reminder of the best in our country. It began in 1999 and every year the attendance grows. This year homeless veterans (and other homeless) attended this festive gathering. Festive, yes, but also a strategic and well executed array of services designed to assist those brave Americans who laid it ALL on the line for the rest of us. They truly are the very best of us. We are all here because of the sacrifices made by our brave military personnel. What I witnessed this day makes me proud beyond description.
At the time, the Bantings were in the midst of a monumental struggle to rescue this historic landmark from the hands of The Ontario Historical Society – the group charged with the responsibility to preserve it in perpetuity. Instead, OHS violated its sacred trust in the interests of commercialism by selling this property to real estate developers. More
