    To all interested Opticians, and those who may want to refract someday....

    I had the pleasure of attending this meeting a few years ago and take it from me, it is well worthwhile to see the definition of "southern hospitality" at work.I was immediately made to feel welcome and a part of the group, and for a staid Yankee that is saying I found something very special in Georgia.

    A guick view of the educational opportunities should be enough to entice you. I see that Dr McDonald will be offering a 2 day workshop on refractomety which, if you feel as I do, may be the ultimate salvation of our profession. You'll never be able to do it without learning how, and this is a perfect opportunity. Space may be limited so register early.

    Refracting course is at this meeting

    I've seen some interest in the refracting course that will be held during this conference, so am using this opportunity to bump the thread. Lots of other good education to offer as well.

    Onsite registrations

    The only real way to register now, is onsite. There is still room in the weekend courses.

    Diane,
    I just saw your post after calling the office and leaving a message. I am attending the weekend courses and haven't registered and wanted to make sure I could register onsite. Is that still an option?? I haven't been to this conference before and I'm looking forward to it.

    Sure, show up and register onsite. Just talked to the registration chair, and she's all packed up. Look me up.
