This is an advance temptation to come to Tasmania for the ALCA National Conference, 15-18 August 1996. You have heard about the land where nearly 90% of mothers at least initiate breastfeeding, where women make over 1 litre of milk per day, and where the Minister for Health breastfed her son (I think she did anyway - I know she stayed at home to look after him!). The last ALCA Conference had over 500 registrants and this one will be even better. Gabrielle Palmer is coming plus quite a few other international speakers - more interest every day. Check your frequent flyer points, check funding sources, start saving now. Add a bit of tourism while you are here. Meet Tom Hale who has already expressed an interest in coming. There will be a notice about the Conference in the coming Breastfeeding Review and (I assume) JHL and/or Globe, but Lactnetters get the news first. I can fax or mail the "Call for Papers" if you e-mail me privately with your fax number or address. Ros Escott ( Tasmania, Australia) [log in to unmask]
