What To Think About For Each Meeting: Some of the meeting will take place in another location and will not be a standard meeting. For example, our September meeting will be our first "Date Night." For a standard meeting, please consider the following:
(Keep in mind, these are simply suggestions and we are not asking that you bring one from each category. Contribute as much as you wish! )
1. Gift Swap-Do you have a gift at home that someone else might find more useful? Bring it for our gift swap!
2. Pay It Forward-Have you read a really great article recently or any form of information that you would like to share with the group? If so, bring 20 copies to share at our next meeting!
3. Hot Tips-Have you heard of any fun fund raisers, cooking classes or any "Hot Tip" you want to post on our bulletin board to share with the group? If so, bring your tip with you to our meeting!
4. Idea Swap: Depending on the topic, it would be great if each guest brought an idea to share for our group conversation. Get your ideas down on paper and bring it along with you to the meeting to present to the group. If possible, make 20 copies to share or just bring your original and we can distribute copies for you at our next meeting.

I think nursing is public is fine. I have never seen a full-on breast exposure in public and doubt I will--if you are confident enough in your BF skills to BF in public, chances are you are nimble enough with it that few people would even notice you are doing it. That said, it would be EXCELLENT if more public places accomodated nursing moms with a comfy clean chair, even in a bathroom or off to a corner, as many moms don't feel comfortable or confident enough to nurse in public, and that should be okay too.
I agree with Kelly in the regards to places providing CLEAN and friendly places to BF. I give props to Von Maur for having a lovely "Mothers Lounge". More places should do the same.
