Building Team Shelby

It's been six years since we launched Team Shelby.  The support of our friends and family have been fantastic!  The way we've been embraced by friends of our friends and family, including lots of people we've never met, is truly inspiring.

After six years, it's time to make a couple of changes to improve communications among Team Shelby members.  Until now, we've relied on individual e-mails that we're afraid are landing in spam filters.  Honestly, our e-mail list has gotten to the size that we need to develop a more organized e-mail system. We also want to make sure our members have chosen to get e-mails from us, an opt-in relationship that we value greatly at our house.

We've started a Yahoo group exclusively for Team Shelby members.  The purpose of this group is to send regular e-mail updates to keep you in touch with the latest Team Shelby news.  We've posted a convenient subscription link to each site in the Team Shelby family of websites, including the Research Corner, Shelby's Blog and A Dad's Blog.

In the near future, you'll get an e-mailed invitation to join the Team Shelby Yahoo Group called teamshelbytype1.  We hope you consider staying with the Team, and helping us make year seven our best yet!

Farewell St. Supery!

The North Bay Walk to Cure Diabetes is moving!  This was our last walk at St. Supery Vineyards.

We've been at St. Supery for several years and enjoyed each and every walk at this fabulous venue.  We'd never been to St. Supery before the walk moved there.  We were so concerned about going from the East Bay walk to this new place that we went up early to check it out.  We ended up tasting their terrific wine, joining their wine club and wholeheartedly joining this new North Bay walk.

Unfortunately, the majority of the committee that organizes the North Bay walk decided to move the walk to Santa Rosa next year.  We don't think we'll be taking Team Shelby to that walk.  For the majority of our walkers, Santa Rosa is just too remote.

After taking a tour of all the Bay Area walks this year to do the warm-ups, we're leaning toward taking Team Shelby to the San Francisco walk next year.   The Crissy Field location is beautiful, if it is a little cold.  We'll keep you posted as we firm up our plans.

In the meantime, remember all the great times we had at St. Supery!  It was definitely a great time to remember.  All our thanks to St. Supery for being terrific hosts!
