Attention Members & Breastfeeding Advocates -
Please plan to join us for the third meeting of the West Virginia Breastfeeding Alliance, Tuesday, August 11, 2009! If you were unable to attend our other meetings, please consider joining us now.
If you haven’t had a chance to join WVBA yet, click here for the membership application form.
We encourage any and all breastfeeding advocates to become involved with WVBA. We have some wonderful beginnings in West Virginia so far and it is imperative for us all to come together to develop ways that we can work collaboratively to improve breastfeeding rates in and around our state. If you are a breastfeeding mom (past or present), a clinical worker, a nurse, a physician, a student, a politician, a statewide or community agency, or even a citizen concerned about improving the health of our state; please plan to join us!
Please forward this email to everyone you think might be interested in participating.
We thank you for your continued support of breastfeeding!
