Details
|
Our speaker will be Naomi Poe, owner of Better Batter Gluten Free Flour, who will speak about living gluten free without going bankrupt. Becky saw this presentation at the Harrisburg GIG winter meeting, and was very impressed with all of the helpful information. Confirmed vendors for this meeting include Better Batter and Everybody Eats..
Because Naomi will be speaking at the meeting, we won't be doing pre-orders this time. Naomi will be bringing cases of her Better Batter flour to be purchased at the meeting. However, if you know that you will definitely want to order bags or cases of flour, you can let Naomi know by contacting her at contact@betterbatter.org. Better Batter has a great updated website, http://betterbatterglutenfreeflour.com/ and new product packaging, so if you're interested, make sure to check it out.

Are School's Feeding Our Celiac Students?
The American Celiac Disease Alliance is compiling a survey to help learn who is providing lunch for student's with celiac disease - parents, school, or a combination. The survey will help them to work with parents so their children can have gluten-free meals during the upcoming (2008-2009) school year. If you have a child with celiac disease attending school, please go towww.americanceliac.org/news.htm and click on 'What's for Lunch?' to complete the survey.
In order to hear from as many parents as possible, the survey will remain open through Sunday, July 20, 2008. If you have any questions, please contact the ACDA at info@americanceliac.org

Grandma's Gone Gluten Free Products
|
|
Our own Sue Polachak, one of the original founders of our group and leader for the past five years, is trying to increase the number of stores that sell her new gluten free products. They are currently in local stores Oregon Dairy and Akron Nutrition Center, as well as The Rose Garden in Gettysburg. She has a large variety of products that we love, especially hot dog and hamburger buns that do not fall apart. Be sure to talk to your local grocery store managers if you'd like to see these products near you!
