MEETINGS AND SUCH

I recently received announcements about upcoming meetings that are not Sunday's gathering of the Westchester Celiac Sprue Support Group.

The Greater New York City Celiac Support Group (CSA/USA, Inc.) will have its next dinner at Bistango (415 Third Avenue at East 29th Street) on Thursday, September 20, at 6:30 pm. (6:15 pm arrivals are encouraged.) Reserve by Tuesday, September 18 by calling Merle at 212-662-2464 or Mary at 212-304-1026.

And, at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, October 2, Dr. Peter Green will offer a lecture and a Q&A appear at a fundraising meeting of the Suffolk County Celiac Group at

West Islip Community Center Auditorium (front entrance)
90 Higbie Lane (between Sunrise Hwy & Montauk Hwy)
West Islip

The $5 admission will be matched by the Suffolk County Celiacs, with the total going to the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia Presbyterian University. Seating is limited to the first 150 people.

The Suffolk County Celiac Group also announced that it will host its next Vendor Fair in 2009, not 2008.

And Sunday, October 14, 2007 remains the date for the next Colin Leslie Walk for Celiac Disease, an all-in-one event where funds will be raised, Dr. Green and nutritionist Anne Lee will speak, and a Vendor Fair will take place.
