Miscellaneous Notes:
--------------------
From the "prez" and "vp": Thanks to a remarkable group of board
members, we had an educational and enjoyable year in '95-'96. We hope
1997 will be an even better year for all our members. We now have
three diabetic celiacs so we hope to be able to also fill their needs.
We are also going to try to focus on the young children in our
group.--Diane Morof & Mary Guerriero.
