Staying Connected - Online Information
Our group provides two ways for moms in Los Angeles to stay connected online. We have two Yahoo Groups that we welcome you to join. One group is solely for Leaders to send meeting reminders and announce changes in our meeting schedule to parents interested in keeping informed of our various meetings throughout L.A. The other is to provide a discussion forum where parents can share experiences, advice and support much like the exchange that happens at a La Leche meeting. Most parents feel that it is helpful to join both groups.
To join our meeting announcement listserv, please send an email to LLLofLA-West-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
To join our community support chat group, please send an email to Community-LLLofLA-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
