President's Message

Our first meeting for the 2023-24 year will be held on Thursday, Sept. 21 at 5:30 at the Midwest Mission in Pawnee, IL. This organization puts together nutritional packets to send to impoverished areas, among other things. We will help put together rice packets that will be sent to Ukraine and hear about the work that this organization does. A Zoom link option will be available for those who cannot travel to the Mission. 

Future meeting topics include GI concerns, Baby led weaning, Sports Nutrition, the Mediterranean Diet, (all via Zoom)  and an in-person meeting at Marcoot Creamery near Greenville, IL in the spring.  

An additional exciting note: IAND Spring Assembly will be held, in-person, and in Springfield on March 23, 2024.  The Gateway Satellite Group will also offer an in-person 5 hour CEU event next year. Our local member, Kathy Levin, is the CPI chair and leading the charge for Spring Assembly, please mark your calendar to support this local opportunity, which in recent years has been held in Oak Brook. 

Please complete the membership form via google docs https://forms.gle/7KSuBkHbKBxnuQ2Z8 by Sept. 30th and payment can be done either via Paypal or sending a check to our treasurer (address is on the google form). 

Again, welcome to CAAND for 2023-24 and please feel free to reach out if I can be of assistance as CAAND President at [email protected]
