UPDATED: September 2010 Support Group Meeting

When:  Monday, September 13, 6:00 pm

Where: Shirley’s Home in King George, VA 
(Note: Please email Shirley for directions if you are local and plan to attend.)

What:  This is our regular monthly meeting. We’ll begin with our shared gluten-free meal (many items will be dairy free, refined sugar free, etc.).  It will again be a potluck this time … no theme.

Our speaker will be Cheryl Harris of Harris Whole Health and Gluten-Free Goodness. Cheryl (full bio) has a Master’s Degree in Public Health Nutrition from the University of California, Berkeley and a BS in Nutritional Sciences from Cornell University.  She has worked as a Registered Dietitian and nutritionist for the past 10 years. Cheryl will be speaking on a healthy gluten-free diet. It will be such an honor to have Cheryl with us in person. She will be driving down from Alexandria, VA and returning home after her presentation, so we will start the presentation as quickly as possible after dinner.

August 2010 Support Group Meeting

When:  Monday, August 9, 6:00 pm

Where: Shirley’s Home in King George, VA 
(Note: Please email Shirley for directions if you are local and plan to attend.)

What:  This is our regular monthly meeting. We’ll begin with our shared gluten-free meal (many items will be dairy free, refined sugar free, etc.).  It will be a potluck this time … no theme. Bakery on Main has sent us some of their delicious granola to try, too!

After our meal, we’ll be watching the 42-minute documentary, Generation Gluten Free.  (You can watch a 3-minute trailer here.) This video comes highly recommended. Hopefully, we’ll also have enough time afterwards to have a discussion session. You can watch a short video interview with the creator and director, Susan Cohen, here. (Note:  If you can’t attend the meeting, you may want to consider purchasing your own copy. The total cost is $4.50. That includes shipping and handling. Order here.)

About Me

Shirley BradenGluten free since June 2003, I lead a celiac/gluten intolerance group in Virginia. My passion is educating folks on gluten issues and showing how eating gluten free can be easy if you focus on “real” foods versus processed and specialty foods.

GFE's Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional, but rather a volunteer sharing my experiences. Consult your physician for medical guidance. To the best of my knowledge, all ingredients/products that I use are gluten-free (even if I do not indicate that each and every time I mention them; e.g., if I refer to "soy sauce," it's a gluten-free soy sauce). However, I take no responsibility for the accuracy of that information. Always read labels and verify the gluten-free status of any ingredients/products to your own comfort level.
