In October 1998 Coeliac Association Malta organised a talk for members and their families, to celebrate the 10th Anniversary since it was founded. The talk was held at Coastline Hotel, Salina and was addressed by Dr. Mario Vassallo, Gastroenterologist, who delivered some up-dated information related to Coeliac Disease.
After the talk Dr. Vassallo answered questions put to him by some of those present. This was followed by a reception held in the same hall during which various gluten free finger food prepared by the Coastline Chef was served.
