Hi Members,
Thanks for being so patient during my hiatus. My husband and I have been
having a wonderful summer and fall traveling in our camper and really getting to
know the Olympic Peninsula. We were in the Hoe Rain Forest and had two young
bull elks sparring about three feet from our camper. What an experience. Only
in the Hoe!
When I got home I encountered a woman who is new to the peninsula and is a
personal chef and a nutritional councilor. Her name is Samaya Jones and she has
her own business in Sequim and Port Angeles but after talking together she
said she would like to come to the meeting and answer questions on cooking and
nutrition. Therefore, we will have a meeting on Oct. 25th at 1:00 pm at the
First Baptist Church of Sequim on 1323 Sequim-Dungeness Way (the light blue
church just north of the round-a-bout). I could not get the Methodist Church
for this meeting but will try for future meetings. If you have a
transportation problem, please give me a call and we can arrange for pickup. We will have
a question and answer forum with myself and Samaya, and goodies to eat and a
lot of good information about the gluten free diet. Bring friends and family
and questions you might have.
As you have heard, our Gluten Intolerance Group National Conference will be
in Seattle on June 5th and 6th at the Airport Marriott Hotel. It will be
spectacular, as always, but they need your help to make it go smoothly. If you
think you can volunteer for helping with the conference either in the planning
phase, committee work or a volunteer at the meeting, we would love to hear
from you. Go to _www.gluten.net_ (http://www.gluten.net) to find out more
about the meeting and we will discuss it at our meeting on the 25th. If you have
never been to a national GIG meeting before, you cannot believe what you will
learn and the food you get to eat. It is a once a year experience you
shouldn't miss. Take advantage of the fact that it is in Seattle and please attend.
With the bridge out you might want to make a hotel reservation for the two
days and really enjoy yourself.
Please read the message from Adelle Fosser below. She may be in Tacoma now
but will always be a part of GIG. We miss her already!
Please take care and let me know if you have any questions.

A message from Adele Fosser, former leader of Port Townsend, WA GIG
Hi, We are finally moved and getting settled in our house in Lakewood, WA.
Everything we did to fix up the house took longer than expected. We still
have lots of boxes to unpack, but we will also get ready to travel to Minnesota
to see my Dad and brothers and families and then the East coast to see our
kids in Delaware and Virginia. Hopefully, we will return before the snow flies.
If you were involved with the Port Townsend GIG and want to be a part of the
Kitsap/Olympic Peninsula GIG group please email Sue Eliot at
[log in to unmask] (mailto:[log in to unmask]) so that she will let you know when and
where the meetings are scheduled. I talked to her last week, and she is
organizing the future meetings. Also, please tell her if you are willing to help
out in any way. Now, it's up to you to get the message to her. If you are
already on Sue's list, you will stay there. I know that some of you were already
on both lists.
It sounds like those who went on the August bus trip to Portland and Bob's
Red Mill and the Hawthorne Street Fish House had a wonderful time, thanks to
Paul Ogg, the driver and Sue Eliot, the organizer.
The next national GIG meeting is being organized and it will be in Seattle
in June. Check out the GIG website: _www.gluten.net_ (http://www.gluten.net)
and offer your time and help for that big event. Since I am closer to the
office in Auburn, I hope to help out too. If you need to renew your membership,
you can find out the information at the website. Your membership is only $35.
per year and you receive the GIG publication 4 times per year. They can also
use your donations of money anytime. Sometime next year, I hope to offer the
chance for you to organize a small group of people who want to learn how to
cook or bake something in particular that is gluten-free, for example,
cinnamon rolls, or sandwich "buns," etc. and for a generous donation to GIG, I will
have you come to our house in Lakewood, and I will demonstrate how--I have
the perfect kitchen/family room. Of course, you'll get to eat too! I'll have
Sue let you know when I'm ready to "roll. We need to support GIG, and Cynthia
Kupper, our dietitian and leader of GIG.
Thanks again for all of you who helped me with the Port Townsend GIG
meetings. Gluten-free is certainly more popular today - - look at all that is
available, along with all the good food that is gluten-free all the time.
