Great job. I hope to get in on some of these. As we all know the laser companies suck at distribution of information on best practices. You would think they want their lasers being used with the best protocols but they do not seem to care once they have sold you a laser.

If you would like email notification about MAPA activities - Chats, etc. Please send your email address the CHL@CHLASERMD.com.

For those who will be in Baltimore for the ASLMS Meeting in April, we will be having a MAPA Informal
"Get Together" Thursday Evening at 8:00 pm.

If you think you can make it, send me an email and I will keep you informed about the location of the meeting. Just want to get together and say Hello and meet face to face. We might do a little business or do some planning or brainstorming. All providers are welcome (even if you are not a MAPA Member yet).

Default location will be at the Hotel Bar. Maybe we can find a better place to meet. Suggestions Welcomed. If lots can make it, I am sure we can "borrow" a ASLMS room for an hour of two.

Our PAID membership has swelled to 38 (Thirty Eight). We have $38.00 dollars in our treasury! We will be closing our Diamond Membership on January 31st.

Send your dollar along with letterhead and your email address.

We have gone from zero to thrity eight in one month. I believe we will double our membership each month. Right now the thirty eight members are some of the top cosmetic laser providers in the world. We have members in Greece, Brazil, France, Germany, Thialand, Australia, India and Egypt. Our membership fee will be going up as we accumulate more members (kind of like a Country Club Membership). Join now for the best value!

Our association is all about "Information exchange". The VALUE will be (and already is) priceless!
