Hi All,

 

 I also did the BRU seminar for Medela.  Personally, $25 would have been
great but $200 for sitting there doing what I LOVE doing was good too.  :-)

 

The gal (Tina) who handled the seminar at the store I worked at was a real
sweetie.  She made sure I had everything I needed, water, chair, etc.
Several of the employees checked in to make sure all was well.  At the end
of the event Tina came over to wrap things up and I asked her if BRU had
events like this on a regular basis - apparently they have small seminars on
various subjects ever Tuesday.  I asked if she did ones on BF.  She said she
sure wanted to - but didn't have anyone to do them.they do now!  I am set up
for 1 Tuesday a month though the end of the year!  Gave her a stack of cards
and fliers - told her to call me anytime.she wants to become a BF educator
or possibly an IBCLC someday.  I told her I'd LOVE to help her!

 

While I was in between 'sets' a pregnant lady had seat and asked if we could
just chat one on one.  :-)  I LOVE talking so of course I was happy to.
Turns out she has 6 other women besides herself pregnant in her office.
They are working together to put together a pumping room.  I asked her if
her company would be interested in perhaps renting a couple of hospital
grade pumps for her and her co-workers.  She said that sounded like a neat
idea.  I said, if their company went through me, I'd cut the employees a
good deal on the kits to go with the pumps.  She loved the idea!  I said,
"Have your person in charge of those things call me and we'll talk
business!"  She said, "Seeing as how I happen to be the one who makes those
decisions I'll be calling you very soon!"  I'll let you know if she does.
:-)

 

So, for me it went very well.  I left the script at home and had a group of
about 25 people hang out with me for well over 90 minutes asking question
after question.various topics - I had a blast!  Oh, there was another
business there that does the stork signs.  They set the signs up and have
big bottles that go around the base of the sign.sigh.so I got to talking to
them.  The female owner is VERY pro-breastfeeding.  So we talked about other
things besides bottles that she could use to decorate the base of the sign.
She loved the ideas.we got a good laugh when her hubby suggested breasts
with a baby peeking between them with a big grin on it's face!   She decided
that probably wouldn't work tho.  :-)

 

Hope others who did the BRU thing had a good time too.

 

Warmly,

Jaye
