Thank you Melissa for your letter. I have been thinking about this matter all day and you so well expressed my own thoughts as I'm sure you did for many. I, too, feel strongly that the statements regarding formula companies should remain in the By-Law. I agree that ILCA may have more to lose than a few dollars, if they don't scratch the present ballot and start over. Leslie's suggestion to grandfather in present ILCA members who are not IBCLC for now and then except only new members who are IBCLC is a reasonable suggestion which I hope will be considered. I'm praying for a resolution that will bring peace and unity to our organization. As Melissa said, "We have too much work to do in this world for in-fighting." Warm regards, Pat Lindsey, IBCLC
