New England Celiac Conference – October 3rd, 2009
Monday, September 21st, 2009I want to spread the word about the New England Celiac Conference that taking place in Marlboro, 
Massachusetts on Saturday, October 3, 2009 from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
The Healthy Villi Support Group and the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center are sponsoring this fantastic event. The conference features speakers, workshops, cooking demos, vendor sampling and product sales.
I have been asked to speak at the conference and will be providing a workshop on “Saving Money while Shopping Gluten Free” – besides being excited about speaking, I can’t wait to meet you all “face to face”! Other speakers include physicians that will be speaking about managing celiac disease, what is involved in participating in celiac research and a newly diagnosed workshop. There are also many cooking workshops.
I have been an attendee at the Healthy Villi meetings in the past, but this larger, regional conference is going to be the biggest and most interactive yet!
And don’t worry about toting along your gluten-free snacks … Along with a delicious 100% gluten-free lunch and snack breaks, there will also be vendor tables that will showcase tons of gluten free samples and info!
I hope to meet as many BeFreeForMe members at the conference as possible! Note: Marlboro, Massachusetts is right on Route 495, and just exits away from the Route 495 / Route 90 (Mass Pike) interchange. It is a quick and easy ride from Western Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
For more information and to register, checkout the Healthy Villi website or the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center website.
I hope to see all you Northeastern celiacs in Marlboro on October 3rd!
Be Free!
