The Charlotte Celiac Connection is a support group for individuals diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
We serve the greater Charlotte, NC area. As of January, 2012 we reached a new milestone of around 500 members
(both Yahoo Group & Facebook)! We will have a special celebration at PJ Changes in March.
support group began in April 2005 and this web-site was launched shortly thereafter. Carol Szer, Vice President, is the
mother of Rebecca, who was diagnosed with CD at the age of nine (and now away at college and managing fabulously).
Carol has been with our group since the very beginning. Ruth Madre, Vice President, is also a long time member (since
April 2006) and was diagnosed with CD in March 2003. Amy Levy, Vice President, and her son, Ian, were both diagnosed
in early 2008.
presents. We know how important it is to share and learn from each other. So, we have developed a YAHOO GROUP
(join by clicking button below) which is an electronic place to meet by posting questions, concerns and learns. There is no
fee to become a member!
We have standing meetings at Fuel Pizza - Park Road location (see home page or below for details). We meet the 2nd
Saturday of each month at noon. RSVP is appreciated since there is limited space and it will help us manage the event. It
is important to have support and be with others who understand your situation. Also, for fun, we always raffle a small GF
product, have members bake goodies and sometimes even have GF manufacturers donate items for us to try. Everyone
always has a great time!
Commencing in 2011, Amy will periodically organize luncheons at local area restaurants with a gluten-free menu. Amy will
post the details via a Yahoo Group post and details will also be added to our home page.
In addition, any member can post a luncheon or dinner via Yahoo Group posts. Read these attached procedures on how
luncheons can be organized. Just select a restaurant, location, date, time & send an email to all members via Yahoo
Groups.
In late 2010, Amy established a Facebook page for our group. This is a great way to friend businesses that support our
gluten-free lifestyle. You can learn what new products they are offering, new locations and maybe even get coupons.
Make sure you check this out and connect to our Facebook page.
Our group also reaches out to help individuals who have been newly diagnosed by advertising, talking with store
managers, doctors and restaurant managers. We are driven to increase celiac awareness, raise funds for research (see
figures below) and make a difference in the life of a person diagnosed with celiac disease in Charlotte, NC area. There is
no fee to join and the only cost is your lunch bill!

Warm Regards, Janet
