Chef to Plate International Awareness Campaign
GIG is pleased with the success of this month-long awareness campaign. Conservatively it reached over 1.6 million people in the US and Canada.
A program designed to be national program became an international campaign in its first year! Chef to Plate: Celebrating Restaurants Serving Up Gluten Free Awareness was strictly an awareness campaign - No funds were raised as part of this campaign.
We are already gearing up for 2010 and hope that all the celiac organizations invited this year will participate next year…This is one way to work together. Don’t wait – get involved now.

Kids Day Camp
“Way To Be Gluten-Free”
Kids Day Camp
February 13, 2010 Class is Full!
10:00 am - 2:00 pm (9:30 check-in)
Cost: $15 per child
PCC Natural Market, Greenlake
7504 Aurora Avenue North, Seattle, WA
This fun and practical workshop is designed to empower kids with gluten intolerance to participate in meal planning and preparation. Kids will learn which foods contain gluten, where to look on labels for gluten information and what key words to look for, and then they will apply that knowledge by shopping for gluten-free ingredients in the PCC store. Our goal is to help kids work towards self-sufficiency and to become proactive in their own care. Please make sure that long hair is tied up and use close-toed shoes.
This workshop is intended for children aged 6 to 10 years old. Parents are welcome.
"Way to Be Gluten-Free" will be conducted by TAGS teen volunteers (Teen Advocates with Gluten Sensitivities) and Cynthia Kupper, executive director of Gluten Intolerance Group of North America (GIG). Space is limited to 15 kids. Cost: $15 per child.
To register for the workshop: Click here, call 253-833-6655, or email Rebecca.Powell@gluten.net Class is Full!
