Raleigh to Follow NYC with Food Allergy Poster (hopefully)

Our very own Sofia Noble has created a poster for Gluten Free Raleigh as part of a petition to the City of Raleigh for inclusion in all area restaurants.

The poster will serve as an informational guide for restaurant staff to gain knowledge about the different food allergens that may exist in their menus and the appropriate restaurant procedures to follow when encountering a patron with a specific food allergy.

New York City is the only other city in the country that currently publicly displays food allergy information in all of their restaurants. Raleigh should be the second!

The poster can be downloaded here.

If you’d like to talk to Sofia about her work or her personal experiences with food allergies, you can contact her at sofia [at] thisisbeautiful.net.

DPAC Spotlight is Live!

It’s Alive!! The DPAC Spotlight has launched and our peeps over at DPAC are going to love using it! We designed a custom theme using Wordpress, which will allow them to make use of the robust and super easy-to-use system. Will they love it? Yep. Will it change over time? Yep! We are working with DPAC throughout the process, tweaking the details as they grow into the system, making sure that it stays easy-to-use and meets all of their needs. We are also providing hands-on training so we can teach their team how to use the system and understand how to make it grow with them.

The DPAC rocks. Get over there and support the Performing Arts in our community!
