2010 NEXT MEETING...Friday, March 26, 6:30 pm St. Matthew Catholic Church in Ballantyne New Life Center, Room 204 *Please note the room and time change

First we have 2 great pharmaceutical representatives coming to show us their new epinephrine products...Stacey Valitchka of Sciele Pharma Inc. (Twinject) will show us their new Adrenaclick product. Stacey Sanderson of Dey Pharma is coming with the next generation Epi-pen. She will demonstrate the new design and bring some testers as well.

Then we will have our annual school meeting with Guest Speaker, CMS School Nurse,  Lynn Martin to discuss how to successfully have our food allergic children in elementary school. We will touch on subjects such as buses, field trips, classroom/lunchroom safety, and 504 plans.  This meeting will also be helpful if you have a younger child entering pre-school or church nurseries or if you are considering home schooling.

MEETINGS:

Our meetings focus on ways to deal with food allergies and anaphylaxis in everyday life. They frequently include speakers and/or discussions on issues such as schools/preschools, family life, recipes and sharing ideas on successfully raising our children with food allergies.

We meet 6 times a year: January through May, September

Most of PAK's  meetings are held in South Charlotte at St. Matthew Catholic Church located at 8015 Ballantyne Commons Parkway, on the corner of Ballantyne Commons and Rea Road. We meet in Room 204 in the New Life Building.  If you are facing the front of the Church, the New Life Building is the building connected to the main chapel on the right. It is easier to get to if you park in the lot on the side off Elm Street.
