Hello! Gluten free folks in South King County meet the third Monday of each month at Marlene's Market in Federal Way, on the 2nd floor. (Many in the group also have additional food allergies and intolerances.)
The meeting begins at 6:30.
On Monday, April 12, 2012, everyone is welcome to hear speaker Henri Parren, Manager of the Tacoma Food Co-op (opened in August, 2011). Parren has a fascinating background, not only as a sustainable food advocate, but as an entrepreneur and executive for various start-up companies, including an organic/healthy grocery delivery service in Seattle, and Tacoma-based Griot's Garage, a line of high-end automotive care products sold by direct mail catalog.
Mr. Parren grew up on farmland in the Netherlands, where, he said in his bio, "the sustainable lifestyle was the norm. The daily home-cooked meals included a lot of fresh, organic and local products. Fast food did not exist." As a child, he said, he could walk just 200 yards and buy fresh eggs from a nearby farm.

Meeting time is 6:30; at Marlene's Market in Federal Way, as usual. Please note that the meeting is one week later this month; just a one-time thing!
The group will hear Ken Tacke, co-owner of Great Harvest Bread in Federal Way, as he regales us with a talk I've entitled: "Everything you ever wanted to know about gluten free bread success in a thriving traditional bread company, but were afraid to ask."
According to the Great Harvest website, "Great Harvest Franchising, Inc. is a winner of the WorldBlu List of Most Democratic WorkplacesTM global award sponsored by WorldBlu, a company specializing in democracy in the workplace."
