From the desk of Joan Reich:

Hello all. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season!

We will be kicking off TLC’s 2012 series with an exciting program from The  Retina Group of Washington.  The course will be COPE approved for 2 hours (now pending).  Four of their doctors (practicing in both Maryland and Virginia), will each be speaking on different topics.  Our guest speakers are: Alex Melamud, MD, Daniel Berinstein, MD, Aziz Khanifar, MD and Reshma Katira, MD.  

As always, we will begin at 6:30 with registration and a light dinner, and the lecture will begin at 7:00. As those of you who regularly attend our CE events already know, they fill up very quickly, so please RSVP by Thursday, January 26^th by simply replying to this email (joan.reich@tlcvision.com)

Please Note: 

1. If you haven’t been to one of our events in the last few months, This is a new location (as of 8/2011!).  The new address of TLC Tysons Corner is: 7930 Jones Branch Drive, Suite 250, McLean, VA,  This is the Hilton Worldwide Headquarters building. The CE will be on the lobby level in Sophia's Café.   You can get directions from the TLC website at this link:  http://www.tlcvision.com/centers/tysons-corner/  (you may have to cut and paste this into your browser).

2. Please be prepared to give us your OE Tracker#, if you havent done so already . COPE will only accept credits uploaded to their website and will require this number to identify you.). If you do not have this number, please go to the ARBO/COPE website. As long as you are a registered optometrist in the state you work in, you will be able to find it there. If you have given me this # at a previous CE, I will not need it again, as I have recorded it in my database.

3. TLC is now charging a small fee of $25.00 for non-affiliates*, so if that applies to you, please be prepared to pay by cash or check when you arrive. If you are currently working for an affiliated practice (co-manages with TLC and you are listed in our database as an affiliate with that practice), you are considered an affiliate.

Hope to see you there! Joan

*All of our monthly CE programs are complimentary for TLC affiliates, $25 for non affiliates.
