Questions concerning Oct 5th meeting of the CSA/USA Resource Unit of
Northern Virginia in Alexandria, VA

Q:  Can I pay for the dinner the day of the meeting?

A:  To prepare for the meeting, the Hilton requires advanced payment for
the Gluten-Free Diner. This ensures they don't over or under prepare for
the event.  I will purchase a few extra meals as a precaution, but please
try to send payment in advance. The Hilton Alexandria Mark Center is
preparing to make our meeting and dinner a wonderful event to celebrate
Celiac Awareness Month, providing us with an exceptional gluten-free meal.
Celiac and non-Celiac will enjoy all of the entrees.

Note:  Mr. Ritt's Bakery will be preparing fresh baked French Bread to go
with our meals.

A:  Absolutely  There is no fee for attending the meeting.

shipping charges.  (The deadline for placing orders is 9/23)
     Mr. Ritt's will, however, have selected items available for purchase.

Q:  What is the meeting room location?
A:  The meeting will be held in Plaza Room C in the lower lobby.

Q:   Is there a fee for parking?

of their, freshly prepared desserts, you=92ll agree that they are virtually
indistinguishable (often better!) from original wheat based
