What a fickle weather
pattern we’re having! Let’s
hope that we can get through these chilly…no, cold, months
without any severe storms. Crocuses and other bulbs are
showing their tips, ready to bloom. They and all of us are ready
for some warming sunshine, especially the folks so blessed with
snow. We may regret that wish
come August, but for now…!
Thank you all for making our
December frame trunk show such a
resounding success! We had so
much fun that we’re going to do it
again this coming December!
Congratulations to our door prize
winners Carol Slaughter, Kathy
Crawford, Hunter Smith, and Joan
Rickles.
Dr. Hammonds and several staff
members joined me at SECO in
Atlanta for our annual continuing
education meeting in February. She
and Diane Ladd presented a credited course on how to promote
the InfantSee program in eye care practices. You will recall that
InfantSee is a national program that provides free examinations
for any infant under age one. All EyeCare Associates offices offer
this screening for your children and grands. Larry Sumner went
shopping for the newest trends in frames, as well as took courses
along with Niki Spears and Mindy Freeman.
Dr. Pate’s family joined the thousands (any of you?) who ran
in the Mercedes Marathon February 14th. He did the half marathon
in 1:44, and wife Dana, ran the full 26.2 miles in only
3 ½ hours, qualifying her for the Boston Marathon. Both are
experienced marathoners and are passing the passion on to their
children. Daughter Claire participated in the planned cumulative
runs many local schools support, covering segments of the 26
mile distance over a period of weeks, and running their last
distance to complete a full marathon the day before the adult
race.
After conversations and discussions among our staff and with
patients, we have decided to invest in offering our patients the
option of being able to receive our newsletter in a digital format.
Some find this more convenient. So, with this newsletter edition
we will be providing those of you who have shared your email
address with us, an online version as well as a printed copy. You
be the judge! If you prefer the online newsletter, or as some call
it, the “green” format you can choose to receive your future
newsletters electronically, in lieu of the printed version. Or if you
wish, you can continue to receive both. Just let us know. If we
|
|
don’t have your email address and you would like to
switch,
please email us to “hoover@webeca.com” (without
quotation marks) or call the office.
We’ve just had Spring Break, and there are only a couple more months of school ahead. They will fly by, and soon
you’ll be busy with summer activities and travel. If you have
college students coming home, or just want to take advantage of
your schoolster being more available, do remember to make
summer appointments early.
We wish you all a healthy, happy summer of sunglasses
wear and sunscreen lathering!
With warm regards,
