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
Tale of the Traveling Teapots
Here's a letter we received after the 2005 Conference:
I was very impressed with the support that Alumnae members gave
to
the La Leche League International Conference. Their
presence was
very evident throughout the Conference and I have been including this
observation in my feedback since my return to New Zealand.
That those women whose families have grown are still giving of their time and
resources to LLL is a great encouragement to us all.
The Founders Tea was a particular highlight, as I came home with a
remarkable heartshaped teapot covered in hearts. I have held a high
tea for my local co- leaders, then our local Group's support team and
as part of our local Chapter meeting in September. The teapot was
the centre piece along with the little 'invitations' with their
spoons, as I talked the women through the scene at the Founders Tea
and gave feedback about the Conference in general. This teapot seems
destined to travel to and from LLLNZ Board meetings. Please pass on
my personal appreciation to the women who were involved in giving of
their time and energy to make this such a memorable event.
Kind regards,
Alison Stanton
