SPECIAL MEETING NOTICE

SUPPORT GROUP FOR KIDS WITH CELIAC DISEASE
& Autism holds special meeting with author danna korn
Saturday, December 1, 2001, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.


(Freehold, NJ) - The Central New Jersey chapter of R.O.C.K. (Raising Our
Celiac Kids) is pleased to announce that Danna Korn, renowned author of "Kids
with Celiac Disease: A Family Guide to Raising Happy, Healthy Gluten-Free
Children" will be speaking at our next meeting, Saturday, December 1 from
1:00 - 3:00 p.m.  at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters, Symmes Road in
Manalapan, New Jersey.

Danna Korn founded R.O.C.K. in 1991 after her son, Tyler, was diagnosed with
celiac disease.  It has grown to international proportions, helping families
all over the world deal with the unique challenges of raising a child on a
gluten-free diet, and is still the only group of its type.  Her book, "Kids
with Celiac Disease," is published by Woodbine House and all proceeds are
donated to celiac research.  She is respected as an expert on celiac disease,
and is frequently asked to speak to medical professionals and celiacs around
the country.

R.O.C.K. is a national support group that assists families of children on a
gluten-free diet.  Celiac disease is a common, yet underdiagnosed digestive
disorder that requires lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet.  Other
members of R.O.C.K. include families of autistic children, as evidence
suggests that autistic kids who adhere to a gluten-free/casein-free diet
often show remarkable improvement.

The R.O.C.K. meeting is open and free to the public for both parents and
children. Gluten free products will be available for free sampling and
autographed books will be available for purchase, too.  For more information,
