Local news.

With apologies to those of you who don't live in my area, here are several announcements for moms who live in Western Massachusetts:

I'm working with some other women on advocating for pumping rooms at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.  We're having our first organizational meeting this week on Monday, April 28, 2008, at 4:00 at the Everywoman's Center.  Email me if you'd like to come, or if you'd like to be on the mailing list for the next meeting.

Our breastfeeding coalition is selling some great organic, fair trade Dean's Bean's coffee as a fundraiser.  If you're interested in ordering (local folks only, please) see our coalition's website for the order form.  Our next coalition meeting is on May 8th at Motherwear.  If you don't live in the area you can still support our coalition by buying a sticker or shopping at our Cafe Press store!

UMass professor Dr. Kathleen Arcaro is seeking breastmilk samples for her research.  If you're interested, contact her through this website.  Here are some pictures from her visit to our breastfeeding support group last year.
