Dittibags is proud to announce our bi-monthly adverts in the Lake/Geauga/Ashtabula County Women’s Journal. Each issue has a theme to highlight and raise awareness regarding topics that effect women. Their slogan is “Educate, Energize, Empower”. I appeared on the front cover of the August/Sept. 2009 issue titled “Women You Should Know”. As of January, we’ve appeared in (6) publications and we will also be in the February/March 2010 issue which focuses on “connections”. Specifically, the connections between women, their inner selves, their friends, and family, and finally, their business associates and customers. We are all part of the circle of life and can have a very positive impact on eachother’s lives.

Team dittibags participated in the ADA Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes in Cleveland, OH on Saturday, Oct. 3, 2009. This campaign is extremely important in supporting the American Diabetes Association to provide community-based education programs, protect the rights of people with diabetes and fund critical research for a cure.
Friends and family joined together for vigorous walk around Cleveland, taking in the sites and raising money for ADA. Two of my best friends are with me in the pictures below.
Team dittibags raised $860 to contribute to the ADA Step Out Campaign!
Dittibags was a proud exhibitor at the 2009 Cleveland Women’s Show held on Friday, Sept. 11th through Sunday, Sept. 13th at the International Exposition (I-X) Center in Cleveland, OH. Many attendees took this opportunity to buy dittibags directly. We had lots of friends and family helping us at this event and and I even celebrated my birthday at the show!
Dittibags is proud to announce our first Advert in the July 2009 USA Today. This special edition of USA Today will be distributed in Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, and New York and the dittibags Advert can be found in the Diabetes insert on page 13. We couldn’t be more excited about the national exposure and the chance to educate others on one of “the world’s most common chronic diseases.”
On April 25, 2009, dittibags was proud to be an exhibitor at the Diabetes Expo in Chicago, IL. This expo was said to be “the largest interactive one-stop shopping EXPO on everything about diabetes and healthy living under one roof.”
It was our first EXPO where we actually sold dittibags directly to our customers. There were over 8,000 attendees and Navy Pier was such an exciting venue.
I was so happy that two of my three daughters were there to help. We had a lot of customers, and it was the first time we accepted credit cards. In the pictures below, you can see my husband, Robert, with our daughters, Ali and Sarah. Ali is holding the “Ali-Oop” dittibag and Sarah is holding the “Sarah Spunda”. Unfortunately, Candy couldn’t join us for this event.
The dittibags company is a family effort, and our family will continue to share the important message of diabetic care.
