Field Notes From the Chapters

Confession: I sometimes thumb my toothbrush to “remember” whether I’ve done the deed. You, too? Skipped your vitamin D? How about AREDS 2, for those of us who forgot whether we took our daily eye vitamin and doubled down “just to be sure”? Did you ever toss your laundry down the garbage shoot and drop off your garbage at the dry cleaner? (Askin’ for a friend.)

But lose touch with your chapter? Never fear! AAII provides tools to help you stay connected. At the core is the AAII Community itself, whether you stay local or sign up for any of our 33 geographical groups and 12 national special interest groups (SIGs). You can join any and all Local Chapters through your member profile at www.aaii.com/ChapterEmail.

The AAII website also provides links to the chapters on the public home page. Many chapter websites can be located though a simple Google search, and you can monitor all AAII online chapter programs through our Events calendar.

An illuminating webinar can lead you straight into the welcoming arms of the sponsoring chapter.

As the Jets sang in “West Side Story,” “You’re never alone, you’re never disconnected.” Thanks to livestreaming and archived recordings, the sun never sets on AAII. And through our coast-to-coast chapters, our world is your oyster. Pearls of wisdom included!
