Meetings
Education sessions are always informative and relative to everyday breastfeeding issues. All members receive a copy of the minutes, which has a detailed record of the education session. Membership is not mandatory for attendance at the education session. This session is open to any person who has an interest in breastfeeding matters.
The college's library is available to all members, including by mail.
Regular monthly meetings are held on the 3rd Saturday of each month. Meetings usually start with a Business Meeting (1pm - 2pm) followed by an Education Session (2pm - 3pm).
