The next meeting of the Kitsap/Olympic Peninsula Branch of the Gluten  
Intolerance Group (GIG) will be in Bremerton at the Harrison Medical Center in  
the Auditorium at 1:00pm on Saturday May 15th. The address for the Hospital 
is  2520 Cherry Ave, Bremerton and I am still working on a meeting theme, 
but if you  have suggestions, please let me know.
 
Our Soup and Bread Luncheon in Sequim on March 13th was a great success and 
 we had some killer soups and wonderful breads and some great desserts. We 
also  had a good question and answer meeting and met a number of new 
members. Just  remember, we always have a carpool going from Bremerton for all of 
our meetings,  so don't let not having transportation get in your way.
 
I am heading out with Cynthia Kupper, the Executive Director of GIG, for  
Digestive Diseases Week in New Orleans on May 1st, so I should have a lot of 
up  to date information to give you from this Conference. This is the 
biggest  medical conference for Gastroenterologists in the US but many doctors 
attend  from all over the world. GIG has had a booth there for 28 years and are 
very  proud to be able to educate the doctors and attendees on the support 
that is  available to patients. The attendees also become aware of the 
latest diagnostic  tools and newest ramifications of Celiac Disease and 
associated GI  diseases.
 
Please also plan on the GIG Education Conference in Minneapolis, MN on June 
 5th and 6th. If you can plan your summer vacation or a long weekend there, 
it  will be a conference you will never forget. Go to _www.gluten.net_ 
(http://www.gluten.net)  too find out all about the  conference. Be sure you 
become a member of GIG to help support what  wonderful work GIG does for people 
with gluten intolerance. Don't forget to look  for the Circle GF on 
products to know they have been certified by GIG's Gluten  Free Certification 
Organization (GFCO) and you never have to worry about the  product. Not only does 
GIG have our Certification Programs for products but also  for restaurants 
and food service institutions. This is just one of the many ways  in which 
GIG supports us all, so please become a member and support GIG.
 
Thank you so much,
