Memo
Regarding the World Faire
July 2004
To: Leaders around the World
From: Judy Guarco, LLLI Conference Pizzazz Team
Re: The World Faire
Come
one, come all to the Faire! By popular demand, "The World Faire"
will return to LLLI's 19th International Conference, July 2-5, 2005,
in Washington, DC!
"The World Faire"
has become an increasingly popular event at our International Conference.
A 'must-attend' event for all, it gives everyone a chance to travel
around the world one table at a time. Held in the grand ballroom,
The Faire will be filled with tables, each representing a different
LLLI area, affiliate or Mother-to-Mother support group. The space
on the table is used in a variety of ways to inform everyone about
their little corner of the globe. As people arrive at the Faire they
receive a passsport and travel the world one table at a time.
The success of the Faire
depends on participation of all Areas and Affiliates throughout the
world. We want to give conference registrants and their families a
glimpse of the entire globe -- and all the people in it who
are interested in breastfeeding. We need you to start planning your
table now and let me know I can reserve you a spot! Here's some information
to get your ideas and enthusiasm flowing:
When: The conference
opens on Saturday, July 2. The World Faire will be held on Sunday
evening July 3.
What: Your space
is used to tell all about your corner of the globe -- the families
that live there, mothers who breastfeed and how you reach them, items
native to the area -- whatever you would like to share. It can be
as simple or elaborate as you'd like to make it. Variety is what makes
this evening so special!
-
Breastfeeding
Information. League Leaders love to look at breastfeeding pamphlets,
meeting ideas and other LLL-related information. Show us your area's
publications.
-
Photos,
posters, pictures -- of meetings, gatherings, mothers and babies
and local scenery.
-
Things
to sell! This is my favorite part every time! Souvenirs and gifts
from all over the world that I couldn't have found anywhere else.
These should be things specifically from your area, and the proceeds
benefit your home area or affiliate.
-
Give away
items. These are very popular with all ages.
-
Table
covering. Dress up your table with a tablecloth or some other kind
of textile from your area. Native costumes are an idea, too!
-
A sticker
or an ink-stamp to stamp 'passports'. Everyone needs their passport
stamped as a souvenir of their trip.
-
People.
Above all, we need representatives of your group at each table throughout
the evening. This is a chance to meet one another and share the
many things we have in common.
To run smoothly, this
event requires planning. Please reserve your spot today!!
