Please join our General Manager Bob Gerner and Sandy Myers-Kepler,
CEO of Genetic-ID, North America, as they host a special presentation
announcing the launching of The Non-GMO Project, a landmark effort,
bringing together natural grocery stores across the United States and
Canada, to implement a standardized labeling program for certifying
food and supplement products that are Non-GMO.

The Natural Grocery Company is a founding member of The Non-GMO
Project, and has teamed up with The Big Carrot Natural Food Market in
Toronto, Canada for this project. Genetic-ID, hired by The Non-GMO
Project for their technical expertise in this field, is an
internationally recognized expert in DNA identification. Sandy will
discuss the uses of this technology for identifying genetically
modified food ingredients, and Bob will discuss the goals of The Non-
GMO Project, and the successes we have seen with it already!

There will also be a slide show!

Free beverages and snacks!

And lots of very important and useful information!
