Governor David's Project is Diabetes awareness. He wants to get the message out that you do not have to have a history of diabetes in your family to develop diabetes and if untreated it can be a deadly disease.

There are many people that can assist you with a project that will increase the awareness of members of your club or community. Consider asking a doctor, a Certified Diabetes Educator, a nutritionist or a representative from the American Diabetes Association to present a program at your club.

Partner with a professional health care provider at a Health Fair and distribute information about diabetes. As a club provide volunteer help for an ADA Diabetes Walk in your area or form a team and participate in a walk.

To find programs about diabetes or for additional information contact:

• American Diabetes Association
• Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International
• National Diabetes information clearing house

To qualify for the Governor's Project Banner Patch, do a new project for your club which in some manner raises the awareness about diabetes. Reporting is simple - tell us about your project and explain how it has increased awareness about diabetes.
