The goal of the group is:

  1. For the community at large to understand more about type 1 diabetes
  2. For kindergarten to 12th grade type 1 diabetics to; get to know, help and enjoy one another through local events and mentoring
  3. Finally, that the families of these type 1 diabetics will also receive support from local professionals and one another

This dinner is an opportunity to raise funds for the first annual "Family Type 1 Camp".

At Camp Id-Ra-Ha-Je on Aug 1-3,2013 for Type1 families will have a professional speaker and focus on type 1 and family team building, camping, sports, and behaviors.
Type 1 is one of the fastest growing diseases in the world and is not caused by metabolism issues like with type 2 but by genes and environmental triggers. It is life threatening but manageable with all of the new knowledge, technology and insulin available today.

Cost is:

  • $10 for adults
  • $5 for children under 12
  • $25 for families

and includes spaghetti with meatballs and your choice of 2 sauces, bread, salad, assorted desserts and water tea or coffee.
