We would like everyone to bring a dozen homemade muffins or cupcakes and we’ll have a “Muffin Breakfast”. Our group will supply butter, syrup, jam and bacon. This is a full group social so bring the kids. We’ll have plenty of time to just sit, eat and visit. We’ll also do some planning for the Walk/Picnic in September. We also need you to bring items for our silent auction at our big fundraising event on Saturday, September 28th at Legacy Park in Arlington. Bring any item that you may have gotten as a gift and never used. If you’re talented in a “crafty” way, bring something you’ve made that would be appealing to buy at the auction. Pick up something on sale that you can donate for us to use. We’ll take gift cards from any business in the DFW area. Some examples would be from restaurants, sports events, museums, the zoo, movie theaters, game parks, etc, etc. We also need volunteers to help in the planning of this event. If you want to help, please email manager@northtexasgig.com or let us know at the meetings. We are also looking for a “technology expert” to help with set up computer/microphone hook-ups at the meetings. Let us know if you can help.
Gluten Free 101 Class If you are newly diagnosed with any condition that needs to follow a gluten-free diet, we highly recommend coming to our monthly class 'Gluten Free 101 - An introduction to Living Gluten Free'. This class meets at 10AM across the hall from our regular monthly meetings and will give you a good foundation. The class starts at 10:00 am and ends around noon. Snacks and water will be served. A resource table is available afterward where you can preview many books and other items to help you on your journey. This class is free, but registration is required. Registration is open to patients, family members, and medical professionals. To register, send an email to 101@northtexasgig.com.
