· Join us for a Gluten Free Pot Luck “Kid Friendly” Dinner & Story Time. Each family should bring one gluten-free item (snack, appetizer, main course, side item, or dessert) to share. If possible, please bring about a dozen copies of the recipe card & ingredients. We will socialize and a! llow the kids and parents to get to know each other a bit.
· At the end, we will have a reading of “The Trouble That Jack Had,” which is a great publication about a little boy with Celiac Disease. All kids attending our event will receive a free copy of this book (courtesy of Friends of Celiac Disease). **I am looking for one pre-teen or teen volunteer who will be willing to read this to our group. I can provide you with volunteer credit or community service credit for your school if necessary. (Please contact Melonie at 703-445-8306 or OneSillyYak@yahoo.com if you are interested).
· I will also have copies of a gluten-free candy list to distribute, just in time for Halloween! YUM!
We will also have some samples of new gluten-free crackers from Kitchen Table Bakers!
