[Diabetes-talk] Diabetes Action Network Seminar 2016

[Jerry hathaway]

Mike I would like to hear more about the issues that will be discussed at the seminar. I will not be at the NFB convention so is there any way to get a recording or summary of the seminar. I would like to hear more ideas that will help me to conduct the NFB of Oregon Diabetes division. Any suggestions and information you can give me will be very helpful.

 Jerry
