This is an absolute outrage, especially right after raising the cost of our dinners. Let me assure you that myself and the rest of the executive board will be addressing this issue and will try to do everything we can to come Welcome to February. This month’s meeting will certainly be interesting with Clear Vision Optical as our Sponsor with Gina O'Kane in Attendance and Barry Santini will be giving the Lecture I was very disappointed with our turnout for the January meeting. For those that attended we were pleased to have MH Optical’s Vicky Masliah give an enlightened lecture on kid’s vision. We also had Nick from Mad Vision for an introduction to a new and exciting line of frames. I can’t stress enough how important it is to be a part of the OANY family. Remember, we need you just as much as you need us. At our last meeting, we to an amicable solution. Please bring all suggestions to anyone on the board. Reminder, Vision Expo is about a month away.
