Hi all,

We as a group need to be thinking about how we can help out our LC and LLL
that have been affected by Hurricane Katrina.  Most of these LCs and LLL
will have lost everything and that means all their references books on
breastfeeding.  I for one would like to help out this group with replacing
these books.  I know most of you are thinking Crystal has lost her mind,
(maybe I have).  They don't need books they need water, food and shelter.
Having been a Red Cross Disaster Nurse since 1978 and having worked many
National Disaster myself I know that in the end it's the small thing that
count.  A book might not seem like a lot at this point, but if I lost all my
breastfeeding books I would feel a great loss, probability not now but
later.   

So here is what I'm asking.  If you know of a LC or LLL that is in the
affected area and you have an address or contact for that person please
forward it to me.  Those of you who would like to join this project you can
e-mail be at [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>
