The group serves Washington dc , Maryland, and Virginia (the metro area).
They have meetings every two months, alternating between Maryland and Virginia. It is always on a Saturday at 2pm (No specific Saturday,
it's whenever they can find library meeting space.)
There is a $10 annual fee which covers their quarterly newsletter. They also have a potluck
picnic and also a kids party annually. There are about 300 members and there are
usually about 50 to 100 people at the meetings. Members include both adult celiacs
and parents with celiac kids. This is a great group that supports each other.

such as restaurants that they like, past copies of their excellent newsletter,
as well as information about Celiac Disease, Dermatitis Herpetifomis, blood
tests, related conditions etc.
