Glutenfreeda On the Road: Greenbrier, West Virginia May 27th-29th, 2005
TRAVELING AND DINING OUT ON THE GLUTEN-FREE DIET LECTURE by Melinda Dennis,
MS, RD, LDN,
After a diagnosis of celiac disease, you may ask yourself if you are ever
going to eat out or travel again. The answer is "yes!" And what better
location to discuss this topic than our beautiful weekend setting. We will
practice how to pick the "safest" dining locations anywhere in the world,
and how to prepare ahead for travel by plane, car, cruise line, etc. We will
use real menus and role-plays to mimic dining out experiences. Listings of
portable gluten-free foods and resources for celiac-friendly vacation
packages will be provided.
*Please bring your questions and positive and negative dining experiences.
Melinda Dennis, MS, RD, LDN, was diagnosed with celiac disease 14 years ago,
is a registered dietitian who sees patients with celiac disease and other
gastrointestinal disorders at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in
Boston. She is Nutrition Coordinator of the hospital's newly established
Celiac Center, and the founder and former chairperson and Nutrition Advisor
to the Healthy Villi Greater Boston Celiac/DH Support Group.
Reserve your space today for this rare, gluten-free experience at The
Greenbrier resort.
CSA/USA Chapter #100 and Glutenfreeda.com invites you and your family to
participate in an incredible gluten-free weekend that many of us only dream
of. A luxurious weekend complete with spectacular gluten-free fine dining,
two gluten-free cooking classes taught by the chefs from Glutenfreeda.com
and all the amenities* of the exquisite Greenbrier resort in West Virginia.
This is an amazing opportunity in an extraordinary location! The historic
Greenbrier offers world famous golf, tennis, swimming, a world-class spa,
falconry, fishing, horseback riding, a culinary arts center and much, much
more.
Check in on Friday and relax and enjoy a cocktail and gluten-free appetizers at an
evening reception hosted by the CSA/USA Chapter 100 in the Slammin' Sammy's.
Saturday morning take a walk through the breath-taking grounds or sign up
for one of the many exciting activities offered by The Greenbrier. For
lunch, Glutenfreeda.com will offer a fun and informative cooking class.
Enjoy a delicious, gourmet gluten-free lunch in amazing surroundings! After
Melinda's lecture we'll all take a break and relax at an afternoon tea with
gluten-free scones and a live concert, a Greenbrier tradition that dates back to the
1930's. Saturday evening the chefs at The Greenbrier will offer several menu
items completely gluten-free for our guests. Sunday morning enjoy a
breakfast cooking course complete with Blackberry Cream Cheese Crepes,
gluten-free muffins and other treasured gluten-free breakfast foods. Check
out, on Sunday, is at noon, but you are invited to check your bags through
the bellstand and participate in another Greenbrier activity like a
horse-drawn carriage ride through the grounds or get in a round of golf.
This is an experience you and your family will certainly remember and
treasure for a lifetime!
Children are welcome. The Greenbrier offers many activities and programs
