Received notice of this au courant happening via cyberspace from Lisa, of a local public relations firm. I like to include any community happenings that would be of interest to Gluten Free Safari's readership, sophisticated as we are about anything related to cutting-edge food and health news. The evening sounds great! I'm reading an excellent book along the same lines: "Lunch Wars." Here is the press release:
