    not something naughty but something very nice....

    Now that the taxes are “done” I finally had time to read my March edition of the EyeCare Professional Magazine. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer…oh wait that’s a different story. This story is true and something even better than a sleigh and reindeer.…..

    Featured in the final segment of the Competitive Advantage series is Opti-boards very own “Heather Allen”, the owner and innovative driving force behind Family Optical located in North Carolina.

    Warren Mcdonald, the author, had evidently saved the “best” for last. His final paragraph sums it up for me:

    I want to thank Heather for taking the time to respond to these questions. Placing yourself in the public’s view like this can be a daunting undertaking, and she did quite well. It is appreciated, and I know someone out there who reads this may just think they can do the same thing! Independence is still a path for us to take as opticians and optometrists, and I encourage you all to consider this path. Heather is another great example of someone who is successful in today’s environment.” Warren Mcdonald PhD

    I couldn’t have said it better.

    Nice job Heather. My very best wishes for your continuing success.

    For those who didn’t receive the paper copy here’s the link:

    Yeah....................

    Heather Rocks!


    Dragon is right....she is even nicer in person! I thought the article was great. It is awesome to see the excitement and enthusiasm for learning and sharing that Heather has! I am so grateful that she shared with us by stepping up and doing the article. She came to the *Un-Expo* and shared and learned with the rest of the attendees. She really is an inspiration!

    Thanks again Heather!

    :cheers::cheers::cheers:
