On behalf of La Leche League of New York-East, I would like to invite you to attend the 2008 Healthcare Provider Seminar and Breastfeeding and Parenting Conference, “Empower Our Children, Shape the World.” A satisfying weekend of enrichment in a family-friendly atmosphere awaits you.

I am pleased and excited that all of the professional continuing education sessions are being presented by La Leche League Leaders.

• This year we are offering new and exciting programs for families, while keeping high-caliber sessions for returning attendees and the healthcare provider community.
• These include a comprehensive father’s experience that offers a session at each time slot specifically geared to fathers. Frequently, fathers attending the conference are also responsible for the care of young children, so we will be providing a toddler play area in those sessions.
• Another new feature is the Father’s Family Funtime Party—an interactive bonanza of fun for fathers and their children. Other non- Leader conference attendees are welcome to join the fun.
• The drop-off Children’s Activity Area will allow for some families to more fully enjoy the weekend.
• An early afternoon Pool Party for children and adults will accommodate parents whose children need to turn in early. There will be lifeguards, snacks, and games to play.
• Finally we are offering a movie night with a major motion picture appropriate for the family. Parents can attend a session or enjoy the movie with their children. Popcorn will be served!

If you are a Leader you won’t want to miss this!

LLLovingly,
Traci Meiler, Area Conference Supervisor
