Consider the positive things that FVC has accomplished in the past 12-years:
Hosted the national CSA conference
Initiated the 1st ever Dietitian's Day in conjunction with the
CSA conference
Partnered with FVTC Culinary Arts to start the Annual GF dinner
(our 9th dinner will be held this fall)
Developed the GF Guide that was eventually accepted by CSA and
is now available to all CSA chapters throughout the U.S. and is
being widely distributed to restaurants in our area
Updated our chapter by laws
Started a Cel Kids program that meets before the regular meeting
for youth and parents
Held fund raising events for scholarships to attend national
conferences
Started a chapter newsletter that reaches over 300 members,
medical personnel, and educational facilities, etc
Developed a brochure that goes to medical personnel and
prospective members
Revamped the new-member packet so it included more than recipes
Partnered with Festival Foods to bring more GF products to the
area
Added a new-member class that meets before the regular meeting
Developed a restaurant card to be used when dining out.
The
July picnic was still a big success!!
