Visit to London by the International President
Alpha Omega was delighted to welcome our current AO International president Marvin Sonne and his wife Fran to London at the beginning of December.
They attended a joint Committee/Trust meeting at Stephen Handelsman's home, allowing everyone to get to know each other properly face to face again and partake of the excellent hospitality and care from Stephen and his wife Alison. Professor Eder, the chairman of the Trust and Jayne Cooper, the chapter Chairman were in attendance along with many around the table and via a Zoom link
The following day, Mervin and Fran were entertained at the Aviv restaurant and then the day after at the home of Mervyn Druian our Past International President and his wife Andy at their home.
There were many discussions on both local and international issues and the current problems emanating from the Middle East. It was clear that there is a strong consensus in the future, both for growing the membership of Alpha Omega worldwide as well as making a solid response to any forms of anti-Semitism and bullying within professional circles and all educational establishments in any country.

Chicago Chicago!!!
Here is an important message from Dr Alon Preiskel, the immediate past Chairman of the London Alpha Omega chapter and the current President of The American Prosthodontic Society:
Attending the 2024 Chicago Dental Society Meeting?
You are Cordially Invited to the American Prosthodontic Society Meeting at a Discounted Rate
Greetings to all!
As a long-time AO member, past London Chapter Chair, and President of the American Prosthodontic Society, I am keen to promote relations between these two organizations, which are close to my heart. The APS is an inclusive society whose mission is to promote the advancement of prosthodontics and is open to everyone including general practitioners, specialists, and laboratory technicians.
The APS meets in Chicago annually, hosting a world-class lineup of speakers. The upcoming meeting will be held on February 22-23, 2024. The theme is "A new era for Prosthodontics" and features topics such as CAD/CAM workflow and ceramics, immediate implant loading, and maintaining the longevity of peri-implant health, amongst many more. I have arranged a memorandum of understanding to enable AO members to attend the APS at members' rates.
Many groups from around the world come to the APS meeting to reconnect with their friends and the APS community and have a good time in Chicago, centred around the excellent APS program. There is also an annual Alpha Omega Friday night dinner which is a great opportunity to meet up with our International President and our Alpha Omega fraters.
I would be proud and grateful that during my APS Presidential year, we would have a good representation of Alpha Omega, and I'm sure that everyone attending will enjoy the meeting.
Please contact aps@res-inc.com to get the discount.
I look forward to seeing you next year in Chicago and Jerusalem!
Alon Preiskel
American Prosthodontic Society President
Alpha Omega London Chapter Past Chairman
