As we begin a new year, we hope that you will connect with our local Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) community through JDRF and community organized meet-up groups. The goal of these meet-up groups is to host informal gatherings with friendly conversations, support, and fun for our T1D community.

At Type One Connect, meet with other adults who are living with Type 1 Diabetes or connect with parents who have a child living with T1D. This group is open to people 21+. You are welcome to bring a friend, spouse or significant other; anyone who is your greatest supporter!

Type One Connect will meet bimonthly beginning January 2019 on the third Thursday of the month from 6:00-8:30PM: January 17, March 21, May 16, July 18, September 19, and November 21.

Meeting locations will vary. Please join the JDRF NorCal-Type One Connect Facebook page for meet-up group information: www.facebook.com/groups/typeoneconnect

At CommuniT1D, meet with other families who are living with Type 1 Diabetes. This group is open to parents, grandparents, caregivers and children grades K-12 living with T1D.

CommuniT1D will meet monthly beginning January 2019 on the second Tuesday of the month from 5:30-7:00PM: January 8, February 12, March 12, April 9, May 14, June 11, July 9, August 13, September 10, October 8, November 12, December 10

Meeting locations will vary. Please join the JDRF NorCal-CommuniT1D Facebook group for meet-up group information: www.facebook.com/groups/CommuniT1D

As we learn about more community organized meet-up groups throughout Northern California, we will work to share that information through our Chapter website and social media pages.

If you have organized a T1D community meet-up group or are interested in starting one in your area, please contact Elizabeth Cejka at ecejka@jdrf.org or call 916-576-1379.
