<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi Everybody We've just spent a few days hosting a celiac student who is traveling and performing with the Up With People Concert Tour. Up With People is a non-profit International learning program which provides personal and professional growth through the unique combination of international travel, community service and performing arts. Rachel has been with the group since January. Being on the road and staying gf in the U.S. has been quite a challenge for Rachel. The students stay with host families in the different cities they perform in. Besides providing the students with a place to sleep, host families provide some limited transportation and a few meals. Rachel came to us by way of our doctor, who had been contacted by the advance team for the group. They had been looking for doctors and their families for her to stay with, but our doctor thought of us and asked if we'd be willing to take her in for a few days. She hadn't known about the Celiac Listserv, and I suggested that it might be useful for finding some other gf families that she could stay with. Her group will be performing in Windsor, Bishop, Ridgecrest, Santa Barbara, Visalia, and La Canada over the next few weeks. If you are able to host this delightful young woman, please contact the Up With People advance team in your area and ask to host Rachel Mace. You can reach the advance team through your Chamber of Commerce or local newspaper. Thanks Chris in CA MoM of Eileen, Anna, and Laura [log in to unmask]
