Keith/Heather - 

     How are you all doing? I am sorry that I have not called. 

     Keith -   please print this for Heather
 
   Heather - I have e-mailed J and asked permission to share this with you. I 
thought that you would find it of interest. J will be sending me a copy of 
her piece and I will share it with you. 

                   At present the word is that there is an "association" 
between Massonic and Ravenswood - not a merger for the time being.

 Subject: "Nutrition (including Breastfeeding) Guidelines for Homeless Family
          Facilities"
 
 Hello everyone:
 
 After many months off list I just reactivated my membership. I am a
 nutritionist with a strong interest in breastfeeding. For a project I am
 currently working on I am looking for feedback from some listmembers.
 
 We are developing "Nutrition Guidelines for Homeless Family Facilities"
 to enable organizations involved with helping homeless families to
 assess their roles and performance in this area. The guidelines are
 policy focused and cover many nutrition issues for pregnant and
 parenting women, including breastfeeding.
 They are a tool for shelters to help identify what works and focus on
 areas that may need improvement.
 
 The current draft of the nutrition guidelines was created based on
 1. An extensive literature search on shelter nutrition policies;
 2. The results of several surveys, including one of shelter providers;
 3. Identified "Best Practices" as currently employed by some shelters.
 
 I am looking for a few experts from this list who would be interested in
 reviewing this document (~4 pages) and specifically the guidelines that
 pertain to breastfeeding. We are interested in your comments and
 feedback.
 
 Please respond to me off-list if you are interested and we will mail
 and/or email you the draft for your review. Please specify whether you
 wish to receive the document in Wordperfect, MS-Word, or ASCI text
 formats.
 
 thanks,
 
 Josefine (José) Wendel, MS, RD
