ADVERTISERS

Effective advertising doesn't scream at its audience. It

persuades. It sells. The key to cost-effective advertising is making your voice

heard where an audience is already listening. VOICE OF THE DIABETIC, circulation

FREE! FREE!

VOICE OF THE DIABETIC is offered absolutely free

to any interested person upon request. Readers may receive the publication in

standard print, on audio cassette for the blind, or in both formats. To begin

receiving the VOICE, please complete the subscription form (or a facsimile),

found at the end, and mail it to the editorial office.

Please Note: We have a special bulk-mailing permit that we use to ship the VOICE

to you at low cost—it does not allow for free re-mailing. The Post Office

requires you place first class postage on any VOICE you mail to others.

VOICE DISTRIBUTORS NEEDED

Since the VOICE is now offered free, our Diabetes Action Network

will provide extra copies to anyone wanting to help spread the word. We will

gladly send from five to five hundred-plus copies each quarter to be used as

free literature. Medical facilities can order as needed for patients. Individuals

can usually place copies of the VOICE in libraries, pharmacies, hospitals, doctors'

offices, or other public locations.

Diabetes education is essential. Anyone who distributes the

Voice will be helping people with diabetes, and their families, to learn about

the disease and its ramifications; to learn that they have options; and that

their world is far greater than whatever "limits" may be imposed by

the disease. If you would like to help spread the word by distributing the publication,

please contact: Voice of the Diabetic, 1412 I-70 Drive SW, Suite C, Columbia,

MO 65203; telephone: (573) 875-8911, fax: (573) 875-8902. NOTE: Please provide

a phone number so we can reach you.

If you or a friend would like to remember the Diabetes Action

Network of the National Federation of the Blind in your will, you can do so

by employing the following language: "I give, devise, and bequeath unto

the Diabetes Action Network of the National Federation of the Blind, 1800 Johnson

Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21230, a District of Columbia nonprofit corporation,

the sum of $____________ (or "____________ percent of my net estate"

or "the following stocks and bonds: _____________") to be used for

its worthy purposes on behalf of blind persons."
