Good afternoon, all....

Just as an aside, and not to generate conversation on this issue, I will
respond here re: Kathy D's note re : LLLI.  There seems to be some confusion
as to her intent.  Since she is away for the week, I would like to clarify
for her, and I know she will do so when she returns.

This is the entire note from Kathy D.  The short clip that was quoted may
have given  the impression that she was advocating a boycott of the
conference, which I am *sure*  she was not.

I would like to add my voice to those asking please please please that
people NOT exploit the LLLI conference in Orlando in order to protest
Disney's association with Nestle.

LLLI is a wonderful, wonderful organization, which has done more for
breastfeeding in this country than any other group or individual can lay
claim to.  They struggle constantly against negative press.

If you truly support breastfeeding, you will not do anything at the LLLI
conference in Orlando that will reflect badly on breastfeeding, or LLLI, or
the conference -- including protest marches, nurse-ins, or the like.

If you don't approve of LLLI having their conference at Disney World, then
DON'T GO.

I do not believe that Kathy's was advocating a boycott of this conference.
Rather, she was saying that if anyone wished to make a statement personally,
then they could absent themselves, as a statement.  Thanks for the chance to
clarify and put this issue to bed.

Kind regards,

Kathleen
