(Wo)Men at Work
Hope you've all had a smooth transition from winter to spring.
You may have noticed that we’ve been quiet during the month of May. We've been hard at work:
-Creating partnerships with new restaurants groups to bring WFD members more choices in the NYC area and beyond
-Making structural program changes to increase members' positive takeaways
Watch for changes starting NOW.
Feel free to email with any questions: worryfreedinners@gmail.com.

Summer Adult WFD: QUESTION
Good afternoon WFD Adults,
We're planning two new events just for you this summer: Mexican and Italian (gluten-free and nut-free, TBA).
Here's the question: It's summer and many of you will go out of town or on vacation, so we just wanted to get a sense about these potential dates.
Tuesday June 30 or Tuesday July 21 - Italian
Sunday July 12 or Sunday August 2 - Mexican
Let us hear from you which date works (if any) and we will plan accordingly.

JFK = Jazz for Kids
Last Sunday was another wonderful afternoon with Blue Smoke allergen-friendly goodness and WFD kids. This time we were downstairs listening to jazz played by local NYC kids.
Thank you to the Discover Jazz Program for keeping this vital art form alive. And thank you to the Blue Smoke/Jazz Standard team for supporting Worry-free Dinners and our members!
Jazz & Kids, woo hoo!

WFD, One Year Old
Today marks the anniversary of our first Worry-Free Dinners® event: April 1st, 2008. I can't believe it's been a whole year since we launched. And what a year it's been.
We've been supported by allergy-friendly food/snacks/treat/sweet vendors all along the way: thank you.
Cherrybrook Kitchens has generously supplied dessert mixes for many of our events. What a delight to have a safe dessert in a restaurant. Thank you CBK.
Allergy-friendly chefs, managers, servers and restaurants have opened their doors to our community and continue to do so: thank you.
Danny Meyer's Blue Smoke committed to monthly events--wow, thank you.
Our national membership has grown by leaps and bounds and keeps growing every day! (Not yet a member? Just send an email to worryfreedinners@gmail.com to request an application.)
The media has taken notice giving us great local press and national press. Thank you to all of the journos who support the program.
Moving forward members can look forward to adult and family events in NYC, and family events in Ft. Lauderdale, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Boston.
And there's even more to come. Join NOW!

(Jake and CBK cupcake. Photo credit © Alvin De Guzman)
What a lovely luncheon on a cold and misty day. Manager Ben, Chef Billy and server Doug made sure we were all safe during service, kept the meal running smoothly, answered all of our questions and packed up some serious doggy bags.
Thanks team Blue Smoke for your support!
Thank you too to dad of Jake (see above) who took some gorgeous pictures! Way better than my out of focus, is-that-rib-grease-on-the-camera-ones.
And Mom of Jake who penned this fab post-WFD event run down. Check out their FAAN video as well.
