January 8th Meeting: In-Person & Zoom: Luke Bailey Introduces the New Medtronic 780G Pump

Happy 2024 Pump Club Members!

On Monday, January 8th, we will hold our first In-person/ Zoom hybrid meeting. It will be exciting to meet in person after almost 4 years of just meeting via Zoom!

In Person: The meeting will be held at the Sharp Spectrum Building in Kearny Mesa. Join us at 8695 Spectrum Center Drive from 7-9 pm in the Board Room off the lobby. 

The room will be open at 6:30 pm for visiting before the meeting. The main entrance is locked at 6 pm so security will buzz us in through the side door off the lobby. The board room has been totally remodeled with new technology updates.

Via Zoom: If you can't attend in person, please join us via Zoom. The meeting link is posted below.

As always, significant others, friends, and family supporters are always welcome!  We hold our meetings the 2nd Monday of every month.
