    January

    Historically, it is the entire month of January. For the last couple of years, there hasn't been any significant publicity for it, as it needs to be started by OAA on a national level. Publicity needs to filter down to the states sometime in the early fall in order to get paperwork done, contact your governor's office and have a proclamation written. It is a memorable event to have the paperwork done and have a proclamation signing day with the governor of your state. But it takes time and some leg work.

    Hope you get it done.

    Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

    Odd that we have a national opticians month proclaimed by the president and Teddy Rosevelt was the only one who would wear glasses in public (pince-nez) . Although I understand that every president has worn them in private. And I seem to have seen pictures of Woodrow Wilson wearing glasses.
