Social Committee Event for November

Diabetes Awareness

JP Social Committee is driven to raise awareness on many levels. In November the topic was Diabetes Awareness which started with some delicious diabetic-conscious recipes. Later in the month, participants wore blue and formed the national symbol of diabetes (circle) around the American flag. These efforts represent support for all those who are battling this disease.

Light refreshments were provided by Just 4 U Vegan Market. Connie is already looking forward to doing it again.
