👋 Hey y’all!

We’re closing out 2025 with one last get-together, and you don’t want to miss it! 🎉

📅 Tuesday, November 4, 2025

📍 Verona Italian Restaurante – Alexandria, LA 🍝

Our awesome sponsor, Mrs. Allyson Brooks with Mallinckrodt, will be joining us as we learn about Acthar Gel 💉.

We’ll also hear from Dr. Sean Smolyenak, O.D. all the way from North Carolina 🇺🇸 — plus chat about a few hot topics affecting us on the state and national level 👀.

It’s always a great time when Louisiana ODs get together — good food, great conversation, and even better company! 💙

We hope to see y’all there!

Hi everyone,

Join us for our final society meeting of the year on Thursday, November 13!

Where: Fremin’s Restaurant
Time: 6:30 PM

This meeting is sponsored by Ross Rodriguez with Dompé, and we’ll be learning about Oxervate. We’re also excited to have Dr. Joshua Davidson, O.D. joining us as our guest speaker.  Due to the Gulf Society having exhausted the 3h of annual CE available via Society Meetings, this meeting will not have any CE credit offered.  

We’ll follow the presentation with our society meeting.

Hope to see y’all there!
