Discount on OAT Courses!!!
Hey Insight Members,
We just started a contract with Princeton Review. For those interested in their OAT course, Princeton does give official Insight members a 10% discount, which make the course around $950 instead of $1,299. The discount can only be used in San Diego, so you would have to take the course here. We are still in contract with Kaplan, which also offers a 10% discount for our official members. Now you have a choice of either Princeton or Kaplan to help you prepare for the OATs. If you have any questions, just email us back. Have a good day.

We have a second one to auction, so for those of you who couldn't make it to the meeting, here's your chance (the Kaplan OAT course regularly costs $1400)! It does not matter when or where you want to take the course.
The auction is open now and will close next Monday, June 2nd, at 11:59pm. The bid will start at $900 and basically, the highest bidder wins.

Insight Glasses Drive + Updates!!!
Hey Everyone,
First of all, congratulations to the new 2008-2009 Cabinet officers!!!! Thank you to all who applied, the applicant pool was remarkable this year. For those interested in becoming a committee member, look out for an email in the near future.
As for now, Insight is going have its first ever GLASSES DRIVE. We will be out on Library walk all of next week from 10-2pm. So if you have any old glasses that you would like to donate, please bring them on by. If you're going home this weekend, check to see you if your any family members or friends have old glasses they would like to donate. We will be donating the glasses to the Lion's Club, who has special screenings for underprivileged kids and adults and are able to match the prescription from the donated glasses to their prescription. This is a good way to recycle your out-of-date glasses.
Also, just a reminder that Insight's LAST MEETING of the year will be on Wednesday May 28th at 7:30pm. It will feature a 5 doctor optometrist panel who will be answering any questions you have about optometry. Each of the 5 doctors works in a private office and specify in different field of optometry. This includes vision therapy, low vision, CRT, and refractive surgery care. We will also be introducing the new cabinet and announcing the scholarship winners. Location will be announced next week.
Have a good 3-day weekend and look for us on Library Walk!!
