MONTHLY MEETINGSMeeting Schedule: Second Friday of each
Month August 8, 2008 Darla is a Board Certified Ocularist, one of less than 200 individuals worldwide to have earned this certification. An Ocularist is someone who makes and fits artificial eyes. She maintained a private practice in Pennsylvania and Ohio for 25 years before retiring to Florida. Darla has had several articles published in the Journal of the American Society of Ocularists. She has presented courses for many organizations including the American Academy of Opthalmology and various other medical and private groups. Darla's two interests from childhood were art and science. These two were ultimately combined in her career choice. Making artificial eyes requires attention to detail. Each prosthesis is individually hand made then cast in a mold. The plastic eye is then hand painted to match the patients' living eye. It is a challenging but most rewarding career September 12, 2008 October 10, 2008 November 14, 15, 16, 2008 December 12, 2008 January 9, 2009 February 13, 2009 March 13, 2009 WORKSHOPS2008OCTOBER 11-12 ~ Janet Rogers - 2 day workshop NOVEMBER 15-16 ~ Tom Jones - 2 day workshop 2009 JANUARY 10-11, 2009 ~ Kathleen Noffsinger - 2 day workshop FEBRUARY 14-15, 2009 ~ Paul George- 2 day workshop March 14-15, 2009 ~ Marylee Voegele- 2 day workshop MEMBER WEBSITES:Sandi Allen ~ WEBSITE ORGANIZATION WEBSITES: |
