need any Silimiac w/ Alimentum?

I was given several cases and can get more if needed.
I am told it's expensive. I don't care who wants it (your client, your friend, your sister...-- the way I see it, our clients can get free from WIC so if you know anyone that doesn't qualify for help that is great too) - call Carla

Pampering night- Please join us!
