Members of the O&P Community,

Should you be in the metropolitan-DC area late next week, please join
OPAF on Friday, December 13 (1-3 PM) at its first holiday open house. We
have received over three dozen RSVPs to date, from individuals both
within and beyond the O&P community, so the event will surely be a great
networking opportunity for everyone.

During the visit you will be able to see OPAF's new offices, meet new
friends from DC's nonprofit and for-profit communities, and learn more
about OPAF's mission and those of its many community partners and its
three founders: the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists
(AAOP), American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics
(ABC), and American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association (AOPA).

A table at the event will display literature published by OPAF's
partners and founders, including the AAOP's just-published brochure
about the O&P profession which directs individuals to the new O&P
Careers web site: www.opcareers.org developed by the Joint Committee on
O&P Awareness. We will also have on hand copies of material relating to
OPAF's own O&P Awareness Initiative, including instruction kits
published by the Library of Congress Veterans History Project, resources
that can serve to insure that stories of wartime experience and service
in the O&P community are preserved for future generations in our
nation's library, The Library of Congress. You can learn more about this
resource and the OPAF O&P Awareness Initiative at

The staffs and members of AAOP, ABC, and AOPA have been integral to
OPAF's growth during the past seven (now nearly eight!) years. We are
pleased to represent OPAF's founders in this very public way so that the
general public can learn about their contributions to O&P and to the
individuals served by O&P professionals.

Thanks very much to O&P Business News for offering to sponsor OPAF's
upcoming gathering. Thanks, also, to Blockbuster Video and the Friends
of the National Library of Medicine for contributing the door prizes
that will be on hand.

Complete information about the open house is available on our web site

We hope you will be able to join us.

Sincerely and with all best holiday wishes,

Jeffrey S. Reznick, Ph.D.
