With the new World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) 2008 logo and theme already set, it’s a good time to think about what worked for this year’s WBW events. World Breastfeeding Week serves at least two purposes: (1) fundraising and (2) promoting breastfeeding awareness (not necessarily in that order!)
Fundraising Opportunities
La Leche League offers a list of […]
Tomorrow I will reflect back on this past World Breastfeeding Week and offer some ideas for planning a successful World Breastfeeding Week event.
