Good morning Patti,
The suggestion to dump Nestle shares was posted on Lactnet chat group (3,000 members - likely 75% American) and was cc'd to people who are supporting me - thought they might pass the suggestion on to others. Renee

Hi Rennee - i don't know everyone on this list - but I'm sure the IBFANers won't have regular shares unless like me they have some to use specifically to attend Nestle Shareholder meetings (originally I had two but they have been divided up over the years so they've multiplied. )
I need to have enough to pay the bank charges of managing them - but probably now have more than I need.
When and if things get going in the US it would be great if someone could attend the AGMs in Lausanne Switzerland (the next is in Aril 19th) please do - its well worth the effort for us - but realise its much further for you. Mike Brady is going this year.
There must be a US Shareholder meeting - if so do keep some shares and go along to rattle them.
But be aware that just holding a one would disqualify anyone from joining the European food Safety Authority under the new rules.

Any of you hold Nestle shares in your portfolio? (You might need a financial advisor to help you identify your shares). Might be a good time to dump them! Why not bring up the topic at your St.Patrick's dinner party!
