Hello everybody!!
I see new names, and not so new names, and of course my good ol' veteran
colleagues so I guess I will introduce myself.
I have just re-entered the world of Lactnet having taken a no-mail vacation
for maybe the past year. 
I am an IBCLC from 1987 - working in private practice - running a non-profit
parenting center where we have a community clinic.
Twice a week we receive small groups (3-4) of new moms who are having
"beginners" troubles - up til 8 weeks of age (the babies). The price is
minimal and the benefits to all are just great. Our non-profit called Mamash
has published a small booklet on the ABC's of getting off to the right
start, and I am very proud to say that we have had it printed in Hebrew,
Russian and the Arabic version is already translated and on its way to being
published!! Spanish and English are next on the agenda. 
 
I have been a La Leche League Leader since then as well, and am now serving
my second term on the LLLI Board of Directors. Probably the main reason for
my lack of time to read Lactnet.!!  Mother of 3. First wedding coming up in
June when my eldest (daughter) will take the plunge!!
 
And am so happy to be back here!!!!
Well, there you have it! anyone who is new and active here and would like to
send an introduction, please do to my private email, I would love to get to
know you!!!
 
Look forward to reading and reaping the great benefits from our collosal
communal wisdom!!!
