Post to the Yahoogroups FLCA list. The list provides a valuable opportunity for FLCA members to network with fellow lactation supporters and professionals. It's a place where you can share resources and successes, request help with breastfeeding information, and relate breastfeeding news and happenings from around the state.

Renew your membership in a timely fashion. Membership extends from January 1 to December 31 of each year. By paying promptly at the end of the year, you will avoid being purged from the FLCA newsletter mailing list, the Yahoogoups FLCA list, and the members' registry. Paying promptly insures that there will be no lapse in your access to member services and lessens the work of such volunteer members as the Membership Chair, the Yahoogroups moderators and the webmaster. Members who have not paid by February 28 each year will be purged from all member benefits and lists. You will find a membership signup form in every copy of the newsletter, as well as on the website at http://www.flca.info/join_flca.htm

Be proactive, NOT reactive. Let's support each other in the goals of FLCA to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding and our profession!
