Our 2011 Project:)

LLL Stafford/Quantico is happy to report that the World Breastfeeding Week Committee’s grant money was deposited and spent in full. Seeking the best deals possible, we ordered 20 copies of Breastfeeding in Combat Boots directly from Hale Publishing and also 28 copies of The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, 10th edition from Amazon.com.

The following books have been distributed:

Central Rappahannock Library System (serving areas including South and North Stafford, Virginia) accepted copies of the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding and copies of Breastfeeding in Combat Boots.

Quantico Base library accepted copies of the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding and copies of Breastfeeding in Combat Boots.

The remaining majority of books were accepted at the Quantico Base Naval Relief Society where Parenting classes and new parent orientation is undergone. The New Parent Support Program offers classes and in-home support to new parents. We are thrilled to help add to their lending library.

Thank you again for this grant to help our moms in the Stafford/Quantico area!
