Subject: Happy WBW
> Well this year I have a few things planned for my WIC office.
>
> First we do bulletin boards in the local hospital and YMCA.
> The peer counselors put them up and take pictures so I can see
> them as I don't usually have time to go out to take a peek. They
> always have done a wonderful job. The hospital leaves their
> bulletin board up all year!
> We also do up a "baby shower gift basket". We fill it with all sorts
> of WIC items (obviously no ABM or bottles) and other things we can
> get donated. This year we have a couple of bfing books, a boppy
> type pillow, breast pads and bunch of other things I can't seem to
> remember. We do it up in a wicker laundry basket (reusable) and
> clear cellophane and a BIG bow. It looks wonderful and sits in the
> local Supermarket at the front of the store with a big sign noting
> WBW and the slogan. Next to it sits a pile of "raffle" tix and a wrapped
> box for depositing them. I pull a name from the box on the last day
> of WBW.
> I am also doing an "essay" contest at WIC: Why did you bf your baby?
> The responses were collected for the months of May June and July.
> I only received 10 entries but they are incredibly literate and touching.
> I will draw the winner and 2 and 3 places on Wed but all will recieve
> a gift. The winner is getting a $50 Walmart gift card.
> The last thing our office is sponsoring is a free conference registration
> to "Breastfeeding in the Bay State". A combined effort of the MA Bfing
> Coalition, MDPH, AAP and ACOG. The conference was purposely made
> inexpensive and offers CME's, CEU's and CERP's.
> The docs need to send in a brief
> note detailing how their office helps support the bfing family. Yesterday
> I realized I may not get much of a response and decided to send a
> check off list on the ways they might support (might also give them
> ideas) with a blank space for "other" that they can fill in. I also
> included self-addressed stamped envelopes. The name will be pulled
> at the end of August.
> So I think that's about all. Happy WBW to everyone!
>
> P.S. It was really nice seeing so many new and old faces at ILCA!
