Hi all!

There has been a hiatus for the CeliACTIONetwork

Here is a new one that is simple but could be quite effective!

In the October 2003 issue of Oprah Magazine (owned by Oprah Winfrey)
there was a disparaging comment about children with Celiac Disease
in a column by the 'Satellite Sisters'.

There was a flood of emails to the 'Sisters' and they apologized
citing their own ignorance of the disease.

Since then we have hoped to get the national exposure of Oprah's
national TV show.

So far that hasn't happened.

But...what if you could spend time with one of the Satellite Sisters
in person. Maybe meet Oprah.

It would be an excellent way to explain abit about CD and ask that
they do a show on it.

Well, now is your chance to do that AND spend a few days in New York
City.

The Satellite Sisters web site is having a sweepstakes that is free
to enter.

You must be a legal resident of the U.S. and 18 years of age.

Of course, along with getting a chance to speak to a 'Sister' and
Oprah you get a few days in NYC, spa treatments and free airfare.

How often is activism that good?

So --it's time to take CeliACTION!

Go to <http://satellitesisters.com/contest.html>

to enter.

Please share this info. Let's get a person with Celiac Disease to
the party!
