| Conway | Faulkner County Children's Health Fair | We
had a table with a representative of another non-LLL group, we were
also able to make a breastfeeding and pumping area available, although
few used it. The turnout to the fair was unusually low this year,
due to physicians not being involved. But it was a fun way to reach
out to our community, to let them know that a group like this exists!
Mothers seemed to be interested and intrigued. Most feedback was from
breastfeeding advocates who were done nursing but excited to know
there is a group in our community. It helped us realize we need to
work on advertising and getting the word out about our group in more
effective ways. We weren't able to collect any donations because of rules at the fair, but it was still worth it. Maybe next year's event will be bigger and better!! |

Walk
on Pearl Street Mall See photos on our photo page! On August 7th the Boulder County La Leche League Groups (LLL of Boulder, LLL of Longmont, and LLL of Louisville) celebrated World Breastfeeding Week with a symbolic walk through Downtown Boulder's Pearl Street Mall, a silent auction fundraiser, and plenty of wonderful gifts for participants. Our Leaders also manned an information booth at the wildly popular Boulder Farmer's Market. Both the celebration and the information booth were a lot of fun. One of the most touching elements was watching the previously breastfed, now 4 to 7 year olds man the LLL banner along our walk. What a great gift to us all to see so many healthy, happy kids! We were able to reach out to many new faces and enjoy the companionship of over 50 happy breastfed children and their families... and we raised over $600! |

Breastfeeding Week Celebration We'll start with a walk on the levee -- everyone is welcome, and walkers who collect donation pledges qualify for prizes. We'll follow with a picnic in the park. See our photo page for pictures! La Leche League of the Lewis-Clark Valley, along with members from La Leche League of the Palouse, celebrated World Breastfeeding Week Aug. 21 at Swallows Park in Clarkston, WA. Thirty-one people attended the event, participating in a walk and picnic, and enjoying information booths and children's activities. Several prizes, including gift baskets and gift certificates, were awarded in a drawing. Expectant and new mothers received an information packet, including a copy of New Beginnings, a Lansinoh sample, breast pads, a gift certificate for $5 off a nursing bra, and an LLL button. The majority of the food for the picnic, the prizes, and balloons were donated by local businesses. LLL of the Lewis-Clark Valley is grateful to the generous local businesses and especially the moms and families who made our event a success! |
