Since this is the last edition before the Symposium, it seems like a good time to update everyone on how the preparations are going. I am happy to report that I have personally been to the venue and it is fantastic! This will be an exciting show with plenty to do when you aren’t enjoying the marvelous presentations we have in store for you. There is golf galore, including the world class facility we are staying at, with literally a half dozen top notch courses within minutes. The Sawgrass staff can help you set up tee times at several of them. We also get discounted rates at both the Stadium and Dye’s Valley courses on site. For those not inclined to visit the links, the hotel shuttle bus will happily take you to the local shopping district, which is only a few minutes away. There are some fine restaurants in the hotel. I enjoyed a great meal and some libations at Alice & Pete’s Pub. They even have a floating golf green you can try your credentialed providers of lower extremity pedorthic modalities through education; increase the demand for services through marketing; and promote the right to practice through government affairs activities.
