Dear members and friends,
Wow! What a busy year this has been. I think we are all looking forward to a break in December, if you are in a position to take a little time off.
As I mentioned in my previous message in the Spring Issue, we had to move premises after 30 years in Tulbagh Centre. The move went well, but we had already booked a Diabetes Children’s camp for the following week (13 – 15 September). We did not want to disappoint the children by postponing, so with a lot of hard work and volunteer help we had a successful camp. Please see Rugby World Cup Camp.
We, as Diabetes South Africa, celebrated our 55th Anniversary Fundraising Dinner at Century City Convention Centre on 9th November. The event was a great success and we received many compliments and positive feedback afterwards.
As we acknowledge our 55-year history of assisting people with diabetes, we have documented activities and events over the years for you to see what we have been doing. We hope you enjoy seeing the photos of what we have been up to all this time.
I can’t believe this year 2024 is almost over and this is our last issue of Diabetes Focus for the year. Most of us can identify with the Coping with year-end stress article.
We have other great articles to share with you as well as delicious recipes which I hope you will try over the holidays.
Make a point to read Des and Claire’s stories as we can all learn from other’s experiences.
Read up on what Diabetes South Africa has been up to over the last few months in DSA NEWS.
I hope you all have a safe, restful, and blessed holiday season.
