We have a Location!

I am so thrilled to announce that the American Latex Allergy Association will be holding its First Annual Latex Allergy Awareness Walk at Sunken Meadow State Park!  I am not able to officially announce the date because we are still in search for an insurance agent, so if anyone has a name and phone number of someone we can use for the walk, please please please contact me!!! =]

I also wanted to remind everyone that my clothing drive ends on July 25!!! =] All clothing will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters Long Island! If you have any clothing you would like to donate please contact me! =]

Lastly, this morning I woke up to the horrible news about the movie theater shooting.  My heart goes out to the friends and family of the victims and the victims themselves.  May those who we have lost Rest In Peace, and those who are have been injured have a speedy recovery!

Wishing peace, love, and good thoughts to everyone throughout this weekend and always!!

Allergy Eats!

I just discovered this amazing iPhone and Android app called AllergyEats  I have always been aware of the Allergy Eats website, (Allergy Eats) and have used it several times when looking for Allergy Free dining, but now they went mobile! This app is a must-have for anyone with allergies!  Although no one can ever guarantee that there is not a risk for an allergic reaction, this database makes it a lot easier for those looking for a restaurant.  From their website "AllergyEats is a comprehensive, user-friendly guide to allergy-friendly restaurants across the United States. It is a peer-reviewed directory of restaurants – rated by people with food allergies, for people with food allergies." http://www.allergyeats.com/aboutUs.php  

To make this database search even easier, you can look up allergy free food service establishments by your allergy, there are 10 options (Peanut, Dairy, Wheat, Fish, Sesame, Tree Nuts, Eggs, Gluten, Shellfish, and Soy) and you can look for restaurants friendly to your specific allergy.

I would really suggest adding this app to your phone because even if you don't have food allergies yourself, you may be with someone who is requires an allergy friendly meal, and by having this app, you can make it easy to eat somewhere everyone can enjoy! =]
