Swim Party & Potluck PDF Print E-mail

ROCKers get a chance to get away from the doldrums of winter and go somewhere warm and fun  -- even if just for a few hours!  Join ROCK for our annual Potluck/Swim Party on Sunday, January 22 from 4:00-8:00 p.m. at the Shoreview Community Center's Indoor Tropics Waterpark. This indoor water park is a blast for kids of all ages with a large tube waterslide for the big kids and a zero-depth waterpark area for the smaller children. There are also areas to play water volleyball and basketball, so we can have some fun games going. This is a bit earlier than in previous years. You will want to RSVP by January 15th (see how below) to get in on the fun!

ROCK Support Group Meeting Details

Aside from the January Annual Meeting, regular ROCK meetings are held the second Thursday of every other month. We will have a regular meeting in March, May, July, September and November.
**2012 Meeting location is Fresh & Natural in Shoreview

If you are attending a meeting, we ask that if you can, try and bring a gluten-free treat to share (no obligation for first-timers ) along with multiple copies of the recipe.  If you have a new find from a store, you can bring the packaging or the actual food item for people to look at.   New restaurant options and/or experiences are often shared at these meetings as well.  And on occasion, we have a guest speaker come to talk with us about a specialized topic.

Unfortunately, the meetings do not have a designated area for young children.  We politely ask if your child can stay home during the meeting with a parent or babysitter, we would appreciate it.  But we would rather you come with your child than not come at all.

 

 
Newly Diagnosed? Get Help Now PDF Print E-mail

Getting a new diagnosis of celiac disease for your child can be surprising, frustrating, and/or scary all at the same time.  Making the gluten free lifestyle change for your family and child can really be a challenge. If you have a lot of questions or just need to vent your frustrations, you can contact us and we'll get a fellow parent in your geographic area to assist you at this time.  You can ask them all kinds of questions, go shopping with them and more. 

Making the change to a gluten free lifestyle is a lot easier when you have that person (or persons) to bounce questions off!

You can go to our Contact Us page and click on Meetings and Mentor Program in the "select department" dropdown.  Then you are on your way making this vital connection that could speed up your transition to gluten free and help your child make that change more easily.
