A Letter From My Heart
My month of August has really been filled with a lot of time helping Blake run the Minnetonka Yacht
Club sailing races on the Lake. I’ve been on the schedule on Wednesday evenings, all day Saturday with
separate fleets in the morning and afternoon races, and on Sunday mornings. I love helping Blake out on
the lake in the MYC Signal Boat and doing my jobs. There really is a lot to do, and we, and 3 other staff
members have it down to a system that works very well for us and for the sailors.
We just finished running the Burton Cup/MS Cup races with the combined MYC Burton Cup races and
Corn Roast dinner plus the MS Cup Races and Silent Auction.
Blake’s goal: This was Blake’s 8/26 entry on Facebook.
“By my rough calculations, if I can raise another $2736.50 for the MS Cup, my "lifetime" contribution
total for the National MS Society since my '03 diagnosis and start of fundraising in 2004 will be
$200,000! Anyone want to help me get there?. It’s not too late to throw in your 2¢.” http://mscup.org/

Huge thanks to Maura Ellen and Sarah Orum for organizing and running the MS Cup Silent Auction;
to Karen Listgarten for acting as our band liaison this afternoon, and helping get the facilities set up;
to pro photographer Jh Peterson for taking over 1000 photos of the fleets during the race;
to Meredith Fierke and her awesome band Furia for the fantastic live music; and to dozens of other
volunteers, donors and contributors for making the MS Cup a giant success. I'm completely wiped, but
still smiling! ;)
We also ran the Champion of Champions Races on Wednesday evening 8/22. I was delighted to see
Blake and his crew WIN the regatta in the 420 boat even though he hadn’t sailed in the past year, and
his crew was totally new to him. Each skipper represented a champion of a fleet in the MYC and WYC
fleets, and Blake represented the Race Committee.
I’ve continued to take the 13 week Financial Peace course, have one more real estate closing in August,
and have some new buyers I’m excited to help.
I hope you all have been enjoying your summer in spite of the unusual weather, humidity, and tempera-
tures. Here’s to a lovely, colorful cooler September. Nancy

Early Signs Of Diabetes
People with type 2 diabetes often do not have any symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they are often ignored be-cause they may not seem serious. Take a look at yourself and your loved ones for these common symptoms of diabetes, keeping in mind that type 2 diabetes develops slowly over many years, and may present only one or two symptoms initially:
Fatigue.
Nausea, perhaps vomiting.
Blurred vision.
In women, frequent vaginal infections.
In men and women, yeast infections.
Dry mouth.
Unusual weight loss or gain. Note that obesity contributes to diabetes. This link is not clearly understood, but the link does clearly, irrefutably exist.
Excessive thirst – this can happen because the kidneys draw more water from your blood system, causing an in-crease in urination and corresponding increase in thirst.
Increased urination (sometimes as often as every hour).
Slow-healing sores or cuts.
Unusual itching in the extremities, especially the feet.
