Please join us on Sunday, October 4 at 12:30 p.m. for a potluck lunch and educational event in Congregation B’nai Israel’s sukkah. We will be focusing our meeting on the topic of diabetes. According to the Amercian Diabetes Association, there are 23.6 million children and adults in the United States, or 7.8% of the population, who have diabetes. There are several people in our chapter who have it and probably countless others who are not aware that they have it.
We are fortunate that we will be having a speaker, Manny Hernandez, coming to our event to speak to us about diabetes. Manny is the creator and driving force behind TuDiabetes.com, a social networking site devoted to providing information for people touched by diabetes.
If you plan on coming to the event , please try to bring a healthy food item to share. It might just be coincidence but on the American Diabetes Association webpage, they list a recipe for “Jewish Apple Cake,” as the recipe for today.
For more information, please contact Susan Cohen Grossman or hadassahvallejo@gmail.com. Hope to see you there.
On Sunday, September 13, the Vallejo Hadassah chapter sponsored our first event of the year – a tea and a birthday celebration for Beryl Cohen. Approximately 30 people came to help us start off the new year. Our chapter gave Beryl a lifetime membership to Hadassah in honor of her birthday. Now that she is 90 she can become a life member at the discounted rate of $90.00.
Wow, I guess it has been some time since I have posted to our blog. Well, now that summer is over, we’re all getting back to speed and have planned many exciting events for the upcoming year. I will soon add the events to our list of upcoming events.
