Upcoming WACSSG Meetings

Next Meeting Date: Saturday, January 7, 2012, 2:00–4:00 pm

Meeting Topic: A panel discussion on “Eating Healthy While Being Gluten-Free.”

Speakers: We are fortunate to have as our panelists a range of experts. They are:

• John Palino, RD - Pediatric Clinical Dietitian, Celiac Program Registered Dietitian at Phoenix Childrens Hospital & Senior Program Manager at School Nutrition Association.
• Beth Triner, RD, LDN - A dietician and nutritionist at Rader Clinic who counsels patients on eating habits and food choices.
• Maureen Burke - Chef/Owner, One Dish Cuisine, “No Gluten, No Soy, No Casein.”

Our panel, which will be moderated by Courtney Mesmer, will get their cue via an introduction by journalist Dana Scarton ( http://danascarton.com ). Dana recently penned an article in January’s Washingtonian called “Going Against the Grain,” which chronicles her personal need to be gluten-free and her associated research.
