Society Reports, continued from page 18<br />
Kansas City <strong>Optometric</strong> Society<br />
Trustee: John Gelvin, O.D., F.A.A.O.<br />
The Kansas City <strong>Optometric</strong> Society has had maximum turnout for our 2008<br />
society meetings. We are working hard to find meeting places that allow more<br />
doctors. It is getting more difficult to find appropriate restaurants that service<br />
groups over 60. We are pleased with the involvement. Please bear with us as we<br />
work towards a positive alternative to meeting locations.<br />
The KC Board has been working on updating the bylaws of the society. This will be<br />
discussed at the next two society meetings. <strong>October</strong>’s meeting centered around<br />
practice management and marketing. This meeting was graciously sponsored by<br />
Allergan. <strong>November</strong>’s meeting will be our first meeting down at the new Power &<br />
Light District. This meeting is being sponsored by Vistakon.<br />
Our December meeting will be our Christmas extravaganza! We will have our<br />
new Executive Director, Dr. LeeAnn Barrett, and our new MOA President, Dr. Wes<br />
Kemp, present at that meeting.<br />
Northeast <strong>Optometric</strong> Society<br />
Trustee: Mindy Blackford O.D.<br />
The NEOS met on Wednesday September 10 at the Pear Tree Restaruant in<br />
Bevier, MO. MOA President, Dr. Greg Goetzinger, and MOA Exective Director, Dr.<br />
LeeAnn Barrett, were guests. Dr. Goetzinger discussed the upcoming convention<br />
and other issues we are currently facing in <strong>Missouri</strong>. Dr. Barrett updated the<br />
group on the changes and happenings at the MOA office.<br />
Southeast <strong>Optometric</strong> Society<br />
Trustee: James Hunt, O.D.<br />
The important business conducted at our last society meeting was the election<br />
of officers for the upcoming year. The 2009 SEOS President is Dr. Ken Detring<br />
of Jackson, MO. Our Vice-President is Dr. Kayce Strohmeyer of Cape Girardeau,<br />
MO. Our Secretary/Treasurer is Dr. Dan Obermark from Sikeston, MO. The MOA<br />
Trustee is Dr. James Hunt of Doniphan, MO.<br />
Many of our SEOS members made it to the MOA Fall Convention in Branson,<br />
MO. There were many nice comments made about the convention. Our society<br />
donated a fishing theme basket to the MOAA. The profits from the auction of the<br />
different society baskets will be used to grant additional scholarships to optometry<br />
students. A big thanks to Evelyn Hunt for her help on the SEOS basket.<br />
