Upcoming Meetings
NoVA group meetings are on hiatus. Become a member to share concerns and information with others on our active online forum.
Our meetings are held 5 times a year – usually the second Wednesday of September, November, January, March and May. Meetings are open to all families, friends and/or caregivers of children dealing with food allergies and may include guest speakers on various food allergy-related topics, such as: managing food allergies in the school setting, traveling/eating out, how to read food labels, and administering EpiPens®.We don’t yet have a permanent meeting location, so please check the website for information on upcoming meeting sites and directions. Also, if you register with our Yahoo! Group, we’ll send you updates about meeting times and locations.
(unless otherwise indicated, all meetings are held at 7:30 p.m.)
