Stomp Out Diabetes 2 Family Fun Day

Hi everyone,
I was hoping I could attach the flyer. But instead I have copied and pasted the info and tried to format what's left for an easier read. This event has been advertised by my son's school (Cobb Middle) and looks to be informative and fun for the whole family. Please contact me for further questions and with interest.

Thanks,
