<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Neighboring Celiacs and Listserve Friends, CSA Tidewater Chapter #71 is off to a rousing start! Our meeting on November 17 was an unqualified success! Dr. Patricia Raymond gave a spectacular oral presentation of current information and statistics, then (bravely) fielded our questions and concerns. Thankfully many in the medical community really do want to properly diagnose and treat our celiac disease/dermatitis herpeteformis. We are indeed honored to have Dr. Raymond as our Chapter Physician Advisor. Our next meeting will be: Tuesday, December 15, 1998, 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, A-Wing Conference Room (Free parking in Staff Parking Garage across from CHKD emergency entrance) "A HOLIDAY SAMPLING": Please bring your favorite gluten-free holiday treat (sweet or savory) with two copies of the recipe (indicating exact brand and type of ingredient used, for our mutual enjoyment). We will share in our first fellowship, with personal introductions, recipe presentation, and finish off with our good food and newfound friends! Please join us if you can!! Safe & Happy Holidays to all! Good Health & Good Eating!! Glenda Tyler, Co-Chairman CSA Tidewater Chapter #71, Virginia Beach, VA
