GIG Annual 2011 annual conference

Hello, Everyone!
I'd urge you to take advantage of the annual conference of the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America, which just so happens to be in Orlando this year, July 1-3. It's a great way to combine a family vacation with education, support, and fun, all GLUTEN FREE! There are activities for kids/teens as well. Please take a look at www.gluten.net and you can find more conference information. It's in a different location each year; this year it's so close to home, it's one you won't want to miss!

In the meantime, look for announcements of our Gainesville Branch in Natural Awakenings, and at the Calendar of Events at www.gainesville.com. I have posted information on Gainesville Moms as well, as there were some posts a while back about Gluten Intolerance. 

Remember, our first meeting is Sat. April 16 from 1-3 at the Newberry Road main location of Gainesville Health & Fitness. I have a few places in town willing to offer discounts to our members for GF products, have a few possible speakers lined up for down the road, and have a growing list of resources to share, the latest being from ELISA Technologies. This is a local lab that sells kits where you can test products for gluten.

Please think about what you'd like from a monthly group and please help spread the word! I can be reached at GIGgainesville@gmail.com or 352-215-1078.
