LLL Playgroup & World Breastfeeding Month events!

-

Tomorrow is our Big Latch On and LLL Family Picnic at Potawatomi Park! (http://sbpark.org/parks/potawatomi-park/) We hope to see many of you there! There are other local events in celebration of World Breastfeeding Month, see below

We also want to remind you of our regular 1st Tuesday Playgroup at Parkovash Park (http://sbpark.org/parks/parkovash-park/) next week! We'll be there between 10 and noon next Tuesday, August 6. I hope you'll join your fellow Mamas for some informal chat time and play time for kiddos. And those of you with tiny babes or those still in utero, please know that this playgroup is for you too! Playgroups are for Mamas just as much as for children (if not more!)
