One addition I would like to add to the television coverage is ABC. The
have proposed 60 minutes of daily highlights at 5:30pm (EST I believe).
We're getting our patients excited about the events to come by posting the
schedule of events in our waiting room. The more people that get involved in
this event the bigger it will become.

Get your patients involved!

Sincerely,
Joe Carideo, CP, FAAOP
