BEST WORKSHOP EVER!!!!! - June 11, 2009 CELIAC SUPPORT MEETING

We definitely were in for a treat having Dianna Ivey, Health Coach, present at our June meeting. No one left at the end of the first hour--in fact, people kept asking questions for another hour!!! We had fun with door prizes, heard of future events, but were all encouraged to take personal responsibility for our own health! More will be posted re: Dianna's presentation as it REALLY benefited all who were present. Be sure to tune in soon for future event postings as well!

There is a new coffee shop in town serving GF cookies, muffins and sandwiches. Leta and I went there today and had a chicken salad sandwich on GF bread and split a chocolate chip muffin that was excellant. The cookies were sold out. They are baking their goodies using GF mixes in house.
