Hi all:
The SnoCoCeliac Support Group will reconvene at 7pm on January 10, 2006 in
the Group Health Northshore (Bothell) Clinic Conference Room A. Please contact
me ASAP if you need directions to that location. Also please print out the
following for a paper copy of our meeting agenda:

INTRODUCTIONS FOR NEW ATTENDERS: Please state your name and how you learned
you have gluten intolerance or were diagnosed with CD and when.

OLD BUSINESS:
EVENING ENTRANCE PROBLEMS: Michelle Baxter of the Northshore GHC Clinic
reassured me that our evening entrance door WILL be open at 6:30pm for our members
to access their building. However, she also gave me her pager number and said
she lives very near the clinic. Hopefully someone who arrives early has a cell
phone (I do not), if we have entrance problems.

NEW BUSINESS:
2006 CELIAC AWARENESS WALK: Our annual GIG Celiac Awareness walk and GF
Vendor Food Fair will occur on May 20 at Greenlake Community Center from 9 am until
12 noon (with registration beginning at 8am). We still need volunteers. We
will distribute registration forms at our April meeting. If anyone would like to
volunteer to help with the walk or take the information brochure/registration
forms to local clinics and businesses, please contact me.

few 2-slice bread samples from Ener-G Foods.

DISCUSSION TOPIC: BEYOND GLUTEN FREE: Healthy Lifestyle Habits - Even after
we remove gluten from our diets many of us still struggle with symptoms. We all
know what's best for our own bodies; consider habits such as HOW and WHEN we
eat as well as WHAT we eat, taking supplements, improving our sleep and
exercise habits, changing how we cope with stress and coping with other health
problems.

I hope to see you all on January 10, 2006 at the GHC Northshore Clinic.
