The 2010 Area Conference will be an exciting event and there's no vacation destination that is as pro-breastfeeding, baby, and family friendly as a La Leche League conference. We will see you there! As one local Leader said, "LLL conferences are wonderful events! I always come away from them with renewed enthusiasm about LLL, valuable information and ideas about parenting, and a big dose of "warm fuzzies" from seeing friends, spending time with family, hearing inspirational speakers, and being around happy children and families (you rarely, if ever, hear a child cry at an LLL conference)." (all day)
