Welcome, Hudson Valley People with Gluten Sensitivities!

The Mid-Hudson Gluten-Free Outings Meetup ( http://celiacdisease.meetup.com/113/ ) is a new social group for people in the Hudson Valley who follow a gluten-free diet for health reasons, such as Celiac Disease or gluten intolerance. Rather than being a traditional support group, the focus of the GF Outings Meetup is on social activities and gluten-free adventures, though we can certainly support each other through sharing information, recipes, and local resources. We will dine out at various local restaurants that cater to gluten-free diets, and plan other fun activities as well. Hiking, field trips to gluten-free friendly stores and restaurants, cooking classes... Anything is possible. Come join us and let us know what you'd like to get out of a gluten-free social group!

We also have an active message board at http://celiacdisease.meetup.com/113/messages/boards and we welcome all Hudson Valley gluten-free folks to join in our discussions there, even if you can't make it to our events.

Thanks to Soul Dog Restaurant in Poughkeepsie, NY for sponsoring us - they have been such great supporters of the gluten-free community and have been kind enough to pay our meetup fees/dues!
