Bits of Information
Here are some random tidbits from Saturday's meeting:
- Marzetti's Supreme Caesar Salad Dressing is delicious!
- The Gluten-Free Grocery - Westchester has opened
- Taste of Home now has a Gluten-Free Forum
- Publix offers a listing of gluten-free foods
- Premier Japan makes a gluten-free hoisin sauce
Now You See It, Now You Don't!
Unfortunately, the information that should appear at the right side of the blog has been playing hide and seek lately. We know that it is frustrating when the links don't appear. Yet, we're not sure how to solve the problem. If any of you tech-savy people have long term solutions, we would appreciate your help
LARABAR
If you didn't join us on Saturday you certainly missed out tasting a plethora of LARABAR flavors. Many thanks to LARABAR for providing our participants samples!
LARABAR can be purchased at their website and at local grocery and health food stores.

Namaste Namaste
Many thanks to Namaste Foods for providing Gluten-Free Wikaduke with many different products that were sampled or raffled at our June meeting.
Namaste is available local grocery and health food stores.
Medical ID Bracelets
As mentioned at the meeting medical ID bracelets can be ordered from most drug stores, but more fashionable bracelets can be found online. Searching 'medical ID bracelets' turned up many different sites. Among them was Lauren's Hope.

Can email reminders be sent out earlier?
We've been asked that question several times recently and here is the official, unofficial answer.
Because of busy lives, chaotic schedules and other responsibilites, sometimes the information for our monthly meetings is put together at the last possible moment, sometimes the blog goes weeks without being updated and sometimes the reminders are sent out the night before a meeting. In a perfect world, all of the GFW stuff would be done in a timely fashion. Alas it's not.
GFW always meets the first Saturday of the month with the exception of January and July from 10 AM until 12 Noon at Edward Plainfield Outpatient Center, please mark your calendars as our ability to send out timely reminders is unreliable.
