In absence of scheduled speaker, MITCH DALVIN stepped forward to talk about his profession. He mentioned the biggest problem that podiatrists see is HEEL PAIN, caused by ligaments rubbing the arch, slowly gets worse and can be usually treated without surgery. Arch supports, injections help. He also talked about the challenges of treating diabetic patients, as they have no pain sensation in feet, gave some memorable events in that area where healing is very slow. Thanks Mitch for an interesting vocational speech, including visual drawn at the table.
The meeting was called to order by President Brian Laraway, with invocation and pledge by Toby Mirto.

Have a nice Thanksgiving!!
