At LLLI conferences, there is something that captures the essence
of an LLL meeting, the warmth of a mother-
to-mother exchange.
It's simple really.
It's us. Us in all our ages and stages of mothering and leadering.
Us from our various cultures and corners of the world. Us connecting
and converging, working through differences, finding common ground,
looking to the future, affirming the past. It's us, being stretched
and pulled. It's us holding and comforting. It’s us celebrating.
It's us, mothers all. |

 THE FOUNDERS' TEA
A Proper Tea is much nicer than a Very Nearly Tea, which is
one you forget about afterwards, according to Pooh's Little
Instruction Book. The Founders' Tea was most definitely a Proper
Tea. "Music from a Mother's Heart" was this year's theme.
An elegant light meal was served and the LLL Founders were present
as special guests. Grand. Wonderful. Magnificent. A highlight
of the Conference! are superlatives about the Tea shared on
evaluations. See pictures.
WE REMEMBER
The LLLI Alumnae Association continues a tradition as we commemorate
LLL Leaders who have died. A tribute is always presented at the
end of the Afternoon Tea. Please send names, city and state, or
city and country where the Leader served LLL, and year of death

REJUVENATION ACTIVITIES
Long days spent learning exciting information can leave anyone tired
and restless. We had a number of great opportunities for rest and
rejuvenation, from knitting to singing or storytelling. Pictures
to come.
FOUNDERS' PARLOR
Eveyone who attended raved about the Founders' Parlor, a chance
to sit down and talk with Edwina, Marian, Viola, Betty, Mary,
Mary Ann, or Mary Ann. See
pictures.
LATE NIGHT CHAT
We enjoyed good company, lively conversation, and added our voices
to the future plans for the LLLI Alumnae Association. Read 25 Reasons
to join the Alum Association that were gathered at this event.
25-YEAR LEADER GATHERING
A Gathering for Leaders Who Have Celebrated Their Silver Anniversary
(or more) with LLL, hosted by the LLLI Alumnae Association. Thoughts
were shared, memories and triumphs. Lifelong connections were renewed
and new friends made. The room was full of the powerful energy that
radiates from experienced and wise LLL Leaders. Pictures to come.
ALUM FUN !
The energy is awesome. The conversations are rich. The get-away
is restorative. The laughter is hearty. (And the food is good!)
