In my 66 years in Lion's service there have been numerous enjoyable challenges. One of the greatest was my duties as Diabetes Chairman of MD5M from 1997 through 2000. While vacationing in Arizona I had access to a Native American shop with numerous designs of dream catchers to create our Dream Catcher award. Our contributions to diabetes research have brought us wonderfully close to a cure for Type 1 diabetes. Newer medications and lifestyle changes for Type 2 diabetics have greatly improved health in these patients. I am truly grateful for having had the privilege of working with Lions Diabetes and proving our motto – We Serve.
