Just received an e-mail from my State Senator who is on the Finance committee that he supports keeping the Ohio Optical Dispensers Board and that the omnibus bill reinstates the OODB. Evidently all the e-mails did some good.

Yes! The letters, calls, and other contacts DID do some good...
Amen! I also wrote my senator, and although received no reply (didn't expect one) I have heard that the outpouring of support/attention, made everyone take notice. I also heard that there was a lot of out of state supporters who contacted Ohio legislators. How awesome is that?

Good news.
Stay vigilant.
There is a lot of support. Remember er to thank OAA. They se nt to bat for you as did many individuals. I am told from a number of sources that The ODs did not support combining.
Tennessee a few years back had a very similar outpouring of letters, at the time people thought that letters from outside of state wouldn't make a difference, however in many cases they make a larger difference. A local matter that all of a sudden is viewed from a national perspective is a lot harder to ignore.
Between now and 2016, the letters should continue to pour in and every effort helps in and out of state.

Yes there is, and from many places. On behalf of all Ohio Opticians thank you to all who supported our efforts. This situation should be held up as an example for every state society and the OAA of why people should join and support their state and national societies. PLEASE JOIN your state organizations.
