When we told Zach from Gluten Free Raleigh earlier this week that his blog was featured on the website of the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) he told us that bigger things will be announced today. Obviously this raised Custom Choice Cereal’s curiosity, and the first thing this morning was to see what those “big news” are!
North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue Proclaims May 2010 Celiac Disease Awareness Month and Commends Its Observance to NC Citizens
This is SO AWESOME! To the knowledge of everyone at Custom Choice Cereal, North Carolina is the first State to recognize May officially as celiac awareness month and thereby raises the celiac community’s efforts to an entirely new level. These are absolutely great news, and we are proud to live in such a progressive State!
The official proclamation complements the privately organized efforts to raise awareness for celiac disease that we wrote about earlier this month. Zach worked hard over the past months to develop a poster that features all major food allergens (“Big 8″ plus Gluten!). Restaurant owners are encouraged to download and display the poster. Please check out Zach’s blog Gluten Free Raleigh for various gluten-free happenings in North Carolina during May!
