I had a call from Chik-fil-A this morning! They have sent the request
over to marketing. The caller noted, with surprise, that CFA had
received 12 e-mails this morning promising support.
Please! Take a moment TODAY to email Chik-fil-A and send a *brief* note
saying
that you will help defray the cost of the Chick-fil-A "Cows Udderly
Agree" campaign by taking your family of (#) to eat a meal at CFA during
World Breastfeeding Week; also, (if you can do so) that you will order
at least one T-shirt; and that you appreciate CFAs willingness to get
involved in educating future mothers, and others, about this important
health care issue.
To re-cap the campaign, I have asked CFA to draw up an ad with a couple
of cows, possibly nursing their calves, with the ad reading "Cows
Udderly Agree: Human Milk is Best for Babies. World Breastfeeding
Week, August 1 - 7". This would be printed on the paper tray cover and
on the T-shirt. Also, I sent a list of benefits of breastfeeding to
mom, the baby, and the financial resources of our government and health
care system -- to all families in general-- and asked that CFA print
the list on the side of the ad, or the back of the paper tray.
Perhaps locales can organize a certain day to meet and eat at CFA, alert
the media, and promote the cause.
I saw my doctor this morning and he excitedly said he would put the word
out in his realm of influence. If we *all* did this, CFA can hardly say
"no"! Right now, we definitely have their attention. Let's get their
committment!
Please e-mail (remember, keep it short!) them at:
http://www.chick-fil-a.com/content/feedback/feedback/.htm
It is time to educate the nation just how important breastmilk is for
our children. This is a positive way to get our message across. I have
no doubt that a great deal of local (and possibly greater) media
coverage can ensue from this project. WE CAN DO IT!
Will someone alert Larry Gardner, Ruth Lawrence, your breastfeeding
products compan(ies), LLL, and others -- come on guys -- post your
ideas! (I have e-mailed Richard Weston @ Medela already).
Kathleen, I want to repeat this post several times, but the only way I
know is to "forward" it and have a double header. Please tell me how to
do it differently so I don't have to type out each message, if the
"forward" idea won't fly.
Thanks,
Sandy
