Teal Pumpkin Door Hangers

Just in time for Halloween...check out these creative door hangers made by a local support group, Food Allergy Community (FAC) of Friendswood.  The homemade teal pumpkin door hangers are a great way to support Food Allergy Research & Education's (FARE) national campaign, The Teal Pumpkin Project.  The hangers cost $20 and 100% of the proceeds go to FARE!  Please contact Ms. Edwards by October 18, 2015 if you are interested (tuquynh.edwards@gmail.com).  Please indicate your preferred style and quantity.

Walk talk and sample Skeeter Nut Free

With the 10th anniversary Houston FARE walk quickly approaching, our next meeting will focus on the walk.  This is a good time to sign up for the FARE Houston walk on Halloween and take the FARE Teal Pumpkin Project pledge (www.tealpumpkinproject.org).

As a Skeeter Nut Free ambassador, I will be doing a mini presentation and sharing samples!  If you or someone you know would like to know more about Skeeter Nut Free products please email HFAN at www.houstonfoodallergynetwork@gmail.com.  Meanwhile, Skeeter Nut Free products can be purchased at Central Market and on Amazon.  

Happy Fall!
