Do you know someone with diabetes?  Did you know that the burden of diabetes is much greater for minority populations than the majority?  We're going to do our part and you can too.  Black Purl Magazine is designing a 2007 calendar of needlecraft designs and donating the proceeds to diabetes research.  We'll have more details very soon.
