Greetings!  Our local Breastfeeding Coalition met this morning and one
of our members came up with an idea we have accepted as part of our
recognition of World Breastfeeding Week.  We plan to distribute gold
ribbons for people to wear in support of breastfeeding (the Gold
Standard).  We'll buy a spool or two of gold ribbon, cut into  short
lengths, and attach with pins.  Seems like a good symbol in light of all
the other ribbons people wear to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness,
Child Abuse Prevention, etc.  Our hospital again plans to have a display
of our employees'  breastfed babies for WBW.  The announcement for
collection of photos will go out on June 1st, so we'll have them in time
to make a nice display to place near our cafeteria.
