Latest AT1 Update - HH on Monday

Congrats to everyone who walked with Brimley's All-Stars at the  DC Walk last weekend!  The team has raised over $4,500!  A big thanks to Team Captain Sara Pray for all of her work to make this happen.

Also, thanks to those of you who volunteered for Moe's Free Burrito Night!

First, some administrative matters ... to more easily keep this e-mail list up to date, I have created a google group for you all to manage your own subscriptions.  If you're on facebook and prefer to get your AT1 info there, that's great, but I will be sending event reminders and other updates through the google group.  I created the group as an announcements only group so anyone can join and anyone can read the archived messages, but only a few of us will be sending things out.  You all should have received an invitation to join the group, but if not it can be found at: http://groups.google.com/ group/ at1-jdrf-capitol-chapter?hl=en

There also seems to be increased message traffic at the JDRF Type 1 online community site www.juvenation.org.  If you are interested in joining the conversation there are several groups of interest:
