Positions filling up...

We still are in need of volunteers. Don't assume you wouldn't be a valuable contribution to the group. Anyone who lives a food allergy lifestyle can help another. We can share ideas, hope & just listen to others' concerns. Please spread the word that a meeting will be set up soon. USE THE BLOG!!! It's here for us to chat when we're not in person. Post a question. Post a cool website you found. Post an encouraging word to others. It's easy & fun!
I wish you all a safe & happy back to school week!
Take Heart!

Allergic to the Cafeteria

Well back to school time is here! What are we to do about school lunches? Can we feel safe with our children eating at the same table with kids without allergies? How much will the school work with us to provide a safe environment or even allergy-free menu?
Is anyone else asking the same questions?
I've found a few links to start the process of making lunch safe for our kids. Please post any other questions you have or ways you've been able to make your school cafeteria a safe place.

Take Heart,
Bev Pomering
