I hope all of you will come to the July 7th meeting for not only the topic that will be discussed, but also to have a chance to say good-bye to our professional advisor Dr. Brad Ingrao.  Dr. Ingrao has accepted a position as a professor at a University in Florida and begins his new job on August 1, 2018.

Come say THANK YOU to Dr. Ingrao for his invaluable assistance to our chapter as a professional advisor – we have been honored that he has shared his expertise in matters of hearing loss at our meetings.  His future students will be very lucky to have him!!

Have a very safe July 4th — see you on the 7th.
