Happy Sunday everyone! Its with a heavy heart that I write to all of you. For the past five and and a half years I have led the La Leche League group here in Alamogordo, it has been a wonderful and fun experience. Thank you to everyone who attended our meetings, our events and who helped out. I will forever be grateful to all of you! I am in the process of folding the group as I prepare to move home to New Hampshire. This means that I will no longer be holding meetings but I will continue to provide phone support and home visits as needed until I move in late June. If you have any books that belong to the group please let me know. I love all of you and I wish you all the best as you mother your families.
