Hello everyone,

Last week Tanya Lieberman, a member of the
Mothers' Milk Bank of New England
from Holyoke, MA, told us about a competition on a
website called IdeaBlob (IdeaBlob.com)  The contest is
open to anyone with a business or non-profit idea, and
she thought it would be a good opportunity for the
Mothers Milk Bank of New England.  The winner receives
$10,000. We posted a proposal this morning.

The winner is decided by votes cast online, which is
where you come in!  Last month the winning proposal
got only 600 or so votes. The breastfeeding community
is strong and internet connected and savvy,  so it's
really possible for the Milk Bank to win. The first
votes must be cast this week (1/15- 1/21), so don't
delay.

Feel free to pass this along to anyone else who might
be willing to post on it.

Here's what to do:

Go to the Milk Bank page
(http://ideablob.com/ideas/1248-Got-Milk-Help-save-babies-li)
on IdeaBlob, and vote for this project!  You have to
register first and confirm by email, which doesn't
take long.
Blog or post about this wherever you can to help bring
in more votes.

Here's a link to the post Tanya put up today on her
Motherwear Blog about it:

Thanks so much!  We'll keep you all posted.
