FYI, BAHA Event in Houston
« on: June 01, 2010, 11:09:01 am »
FYI, there's a Cochlear BAHA event in Houston on June 23rd from 6:30p-8:30p for those in the Houston area that are interested.  I'm planning on going to check it out.  Registration is required and will close 48 hrs before the event, so go register if you want to go...

They're supposed to be talking about the new BP100 at this event.

Regards,
Brian

Brian -

from what I hear these Cochlear events are well worth attending.

Hope you have a good - informative - time.

I thought of that & Dave & I talked about me going, but we have to go get the girlies from Kamp then so it just won't work this time!  :(  Brian will just have to take REALLY good notes!

Notes?  Have you seen my handwriting?  There's a good reason that I'm in Information Technology and have to type most things.  ;)  Half the time I can't even decipher what I've written.

Type? Have you seen my typing?  Wait. That excuse doesn't work too well. Hmm. Try this one, type it on what? My laptop was stolen out of my truck a few months ago. There. That's better. ;)
