Mark Your
Calendar Now!
To save on expenses to help fight the 2008 Opticians Licensing Board Review,
the TDOA Officers and Board of Directors have decided to
forgo the following chapter hours: Chattanooga,
Knoxville and Johnson City.
So that everyone in these locations will have a chance to receive their
education for 2008, the Convention will be held at the
Smoky Mountain Convention Center/Ramada Inn,
Pigeon Forge, TN, June 21 & 22. We will have 8 hours each
day. Make your plans now to attend.
