The venue for the 87th OSG meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana has been selected.   I sincerely want to thank everyone who volunteered to sponsor a neurotology fellow last year. The fellows I talked to really appreciated it. After discussing this with our president, Anil Lalwani, we have decided to do this again. To off-set the costs, we will have had to increase the meal cost to $100/person this year. (The actual cost would be $225/person.) If you are interested in sponsoring a fellow, please let me know.  If you are sponsoring a specific fellow, please submit their name and contact information. If you have colleagues that you think would be suitable for membership in our organization, please have them complete an application and a letter of recommendation from two members of the OSG to support their application. This needs to be completed and submitted before August.  I have had numerous inquiries regarding the OSG History of Stapes Surgery mugs.  If you are interested in donating $30 to the OSG, the OSG will be glad to present you with a mug.  The shipping costs are substantial, so if you want to obtain a mug at the OSG meeting and avoid shipping costs, let me know and I will bring them to the meeting.  This year’s mugs feature the magnificent 7 of Stapes surgery; Kessel, Toynbee, Politzer, Sourdille, Lempert, Rosen and Shea.  Yes, they each have a QR code that highlights their contributions. Please click this link for a preview of this updated mug.  Anil Lalwani is putting together an outstanding scientific program to complement the OSG’s Doc’s Discussion.  If you have an interesting case with good video documentation, please consider submitting it for consideration. Remember, the OSG will award a $100 Visa card to the winner. Lastly, don’t forget, this year’s meeting will take place on Friday night and not Saturday night. Kristin has been kind enough to allow us to set up a registration table at the ANS meeting site.  This will avoid long lines.  Try to get to the venue by 5:30PM. Hor d’oeuvres and wine will be served prior to the business meeting and scientific session.   We look forward to seeing everyone in Indianapolis.                                          All the best,     John Secretary/Treasurer Otosclerosis Study Group
