A Special Request

Can you help an ADA office rebuild its summer camp program after the Red River flood disaster?

The North Dakota affiliate office of the American Diabetes Association was destroyed by a fire which raged through 3 city blocks in downtown Grand Forks during the recent flood. Everything was lost, including all its records and equipment.

While the office is in need of everything from paper clips to copy machines, its first priority is to replace the supplies and equipment it needs to hold this year's Camp Sioux, the free summer camp program for children with diabetes.

The office is seeking donations of the items in the list below so that it can continue to provide this valuable program for children. Donations should be sent to the ND office of the American Diabetes Association at PO Box 5234, Grand Forks, ND 58206-5234. For more information, phone 1-800-666-6709 or you can send e-mail to kstenehj@pol.org and it will be forward to the office staff.
