OK, I have to blow the horn for the Ohio Lactation Consultant Association (OLCA). We have made money on our annual Breastfests (fifth one was held in April) and this year we awarded 3-$500 scholarships to people who wanted to add to their breastfeeding knowledge (not IBCLC's). The money had to be applied for, with reasons given why financial help was needed (in general--no financial statements required). We also gave out awards (not monetary) for the most breastfeeding supportive: state legislator, business, media outlet, hospital (the only one in Ohio certified by BFHI), physician, WIC project, OLCA member, and breastfeeding peer helper. It was great! We will repeat again for '99. Our organization is only $25/year and we have a pretty good library that members can use--complete ILCA tapes bought every year, JHL, books, and we're adding slides and videos. You don't even have to come to meetings to get the use of the library, you can just contact the librarian. So for a reasonable amount people in Ohio can keep up with the latest in breastfeeding info.
