Message From Our Executive Director
By Andrew P. Mandell -
Mr. Diabetes®
March 2010
March is National Kidney Awareness Month
As a diabetic I am fully aware of my risk(s) for developing Kidney disease. The possibility of developing kidney disease for a diabetic is far greater than that of the non-diabetic. That’s a fact – that’s our reality. But, that doesn’t mean we resign ourselves to this unpleasant possibility becoming a reality. NOT ON YOUR LIFE! We can do a number of things to prevent it. And if that’s not possible, certainly delay it and minimize the full impact of this “inconvenient” condition. 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
