Heritage Health Foods
4111 W. 183rd Street
Country Club Hills IL 60478
The store is located between Cicero and Crawford (Pulaski) on the south side of the street. They have a wonderful
selection of produce, dry goods, nutritional supplements, a juice bar, wines and beers. When you visit you will be
amazed at the vast selection! Sharon the store manager will be joining us and you will find her and the entire
store staff knowledgeable and helpful.
Because this will be our first gathering, bring your ideas of what you would like to see in our meetings. I am
hopeful that we can meet twice a month. Once at the store for a more structured meeting and once a month elsewhere.
Suggestions for meetings:
Restaurants
Wellness center - cooking class
Pot luck dinner at the forest preserve
and my all time favorite, outdoors at Zarlengo's gelato... I'll buy the gluten-free cones.
Bring your ideas. You'll never know how an idea might have taken off if you don't share it. I want this support
group to be all about sharing information.
Many thanks, Lori Barr
