Peanut Free nights at the Lowell Spinners

(From AAFA/New England) Jon Boswell, Media Relations Manager of the Lowell Spinners asked us to pass the following information to our members.

The Lowell Spinners, Class-A Affiliate of the Red Sox, are holding two completely peanut free nights during the 2009 season. Wednesday July 1 and Sunday, August 2 will be Peanut Free nights. Both games are the first games of home stands, giving them an opportunity to throughly power wash the stadium and clean the concession stands. No peanuts or products containing peanuts will be sold those nights.

Individual tickets for the 2009 season and group tickets can be booked through the Spinners ticket Office at 978-459-1702. Ticket prices range from just $4 for standing room to $8, making Spinners games affordable for the entire family. Additionally, on the second Peanut Free game, as part of Sunday Kid's Days, children are welcome to stay after the game to run the bases on the field.

Please contact the Lowell Spinners directly for tickets.

Members of SCFAG quoted in AP article

This article appears on MSNNC.com but was also picked up by various news outlets through out the country. I have to comment on my own statements in the article. While I did say my family would "jump at the chance" to try oral immunotherapy it was after I said "if it becomes a proven treatment" for food allergies. That part of my statement did not make the article. Dr. Deuell will talk about this and other new developments in food allergy research at our April meeting.

Food Allergy Law Passes in Massachusetts

Chef Ming Tsai (Ming.com - The official website of Chef Ming Tsai) was instrumental in the creation and passage of the new food allergy law for restaurants in Massachusetts.
A story about Ming and his efforts are highlighted in this week's People Magazine.




NH submitted Senate Bill 23 that was identical to the MA bill. Unfortunately the senate voted it "inexpedient to legislate." We received very late notice of this bill so we did not have time to lobby in it's favor. It took MA 5 years to pass  this bill so food allergic consumers in NH should not give up. We should ask our legislators to resubmit this bill next year and band together in and effort to get it passed.
