Meeting Information
 Because of meeting restrictions imposed by the State of Illinois due to the coronavirus pandemic, COS once again is organizing its quarterly conference and guest lecture in the form of an online webinar. This will be a "live" presentation using the "Zoom Meeting" platform. Participants will be able to ask questions verbally, and you will be able to hear the speaker through your computer or by telephone. You will receive further details about how to sign-in, as well as using your webcam and audio.
The Rabb Retina Study Group once again will be co-sponsoring the conference along with case presentations from the community. If you would like to present a retina case, please indicate that on the registration form. Plan to limit your presentation to about 5-10 minutes so there is both time for discussion and so others have an opportunity to present, as well.
Dinner Discount Program --  We have worked out a way for you to get a $30 discount on "take out" dinner ordered for delivery through GrubHub.
CLICK HERE to view details about how this program works. Basically, we will post a $30 credit to your GrubHub account that is associated with the email address used for COS business. You will be able to order -- using this credit -- beginning at noon on the day of the meeting for delivery at any time up until one hour after the ordering "widow" ends at 9 p.m. View the GrubHub details webpage for specifics.
