Argyle's pretty small, right? I love that area, and we were seriously considering living in the Roanoke/Argyle area until dh got hired in ville. But I would much rather commute to school going on 377 than I-35E! Have you gone to any LLL meetings? There's a pretty good one in ville, but I was wondering if they had one in Denton..... >> No, I don't mind at all! We found a bigger house and were rapidly frowing out of our 2 bedroom duplex! LOL! We had 2 kids when we moved there and then by the time we moved,I was pregnant again. We just needed more space and wanted to be away from town. We liked ville, we just like the country better. However, Argyle is growing so fast now, we'll have to move again just to get into the country! LOL! I haven't been to a LLL meeting, I know that probably sounds terrible to most, but after my first child, I never had any problem nursing and was pretty much home by myself and having babies so fast that i didn't seem like I had time! LOL! Plus, and you know they say ignorance is bliss... I just didn't think to quit nusing when I had problems with the first! I figured it was normal, called a LC and kept going! Hehe! I sure am glad I found this list though! I never knew just how much support I was missing! Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to go to an LLL meeting though. But, don't feel like paying dues. LOL I'd rather do breastfeeding.com!!! LOL B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 8, 1999 Report Share Posted September 8, 1999 You don't have to pay to attend LLL meetings, just to get thenewsletter and be a " member " but I attend and have never paid a cent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 9, 1999 Report Share Posted September 9, 1999 > You don't have to pay to attend LLL meetings, just to get thenewsletter and > be a " member " but I attend and have never paid a cent. When I first started attending meetings in 1995, I couldn't afford to pay for the membership. I couldn't even part with $5 a month for 6 months, if such a payment plan existed! When we got our tax refund in March 96 though, I did pay for membership, mostly because the group's Leader where I was attending then said that membership is to ensure that LLL is there to help another mother who calls for help in the future, and that if you feel like LLL has helped you, your membership will help others. The New Beginnings magazine was one of my favorite things to get in the mail for the next two years. I swear that someone had been peeking in on my life, because all of the situations that had write-in responses were exactly things going on with me. It was so nice to open it up and read various ways other moms had dealt with those issues. If I remember the way that Leader explained how the membership dues were broken down, of the $30 for membership, $18 goes to pay for the yearly subscription to New Beginnings, maybe $5 goes to LLL International to pay for operation costs, a few $$ (like 2 or 3) went to LLL of Texas to cover operation costs and to enable them to fund events like conferences, etc, and $5 stayed in the local group I was attending to purchase books, supplies, etc. I was surprised at how little stayed within our Group. So I've stayed a member ever since. And I still love New Beginnings, but I don't " devour " it within an hour like I used to! And since the group I'm in now isn't well off, I bought some books that I wanted to read out of the LLL catalog that weren't in our lending library, read them, and then donated them to our group. Sorry so long, but I just wanted to share why I paid my membership dues and then some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
