New Orleans Divas!

Last Saturday, March 31st we had the pleasure of presenting Novo Nordisk Presents Divabetic~Makeover Your Diabetes in New Orleans to over 250 women at risk of, affected by or living with diabetes with the help of local CDE. Barbara Gibson. Barbara was our 'all-star’ although the winning MAZE station was 'Grab Green & Go!" headed by Jessica Isler. This was the first time we’ve presented our 'show' during the day and we were all pleased with the results. Here's a comment from Toni Gadsden, one of our team members, "I FELT THAT PRESENTING THE PROGRAM DURING THE DAY WAS A TOTAL "WIN"! IT SEEMS THAT WE RECEIVED GAVE GREATER SUPPORT AND OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE VOLUNTEERS. THE COLLEGE STUDENTS' WILLINGNESS FOR AFTERNOON "WORK" SEEMS MORE ‘DO-ABLE’ THAN LATER IN THE EVENING" One of our favorite divas, DIVA PAL Arthel Neville, joined us during the program on stage to help me to announce the upcoming reopening of the New Orlean's chapter of the American Diabetes Association in early May as well as award some of our 'divas' with wonderful gifts and prizes from many of our vendors including Especially Yours. On a fun note, superstar stylist to the stars, Catherine Schuller, and I appeared on the local CBS Morning TV show on the Friday prior to the event with the help of sexy and sophisticated Jaclyn, the owner of the Voluptuous Vixen, It was a very first MORNING SHOW TV appearance and I was happy the 'whole team' could join us backstage in the green room (the lunch room) to be part of the experience. Our next stop is Dallas, Texas on April 21st. Don't miss it!
