The time has arrived for OASA to move into our new Data Processing program SAMS 2.2 which has been designed for Medicare to have better compliancy of Associations and the distribution of supplies to members. We have been gearing up for this since January 2021with updating our members data files and asking members to submit their orders on the correct order forms with all mandatory fields filled out correctly.
Well, the cool weather has started to settle in for the next few months. Personally, I love winter and good comfort food like soups and stews/casseroles dumplings and snuggling up with my dogs and watch the rain.

Well life is about to get interesting on June 1st 2020 with pubs opening with 80 people aloud in and that means going out for dinner, YES so happy. Gyms and indoor fitness centres and boy that is needed as everyone has beefed up a bit while sitting home on the sofa in front of the TV. Lots of other goodies are on the list with funerals, beauty salons ALSO but I am here to say that OASA is NOT lifting their restriction at the moment. Our Stoma Clinic is starting up again and that means that there could be some vulnerable members coming in plus we still need to keep ourselves safe for our members so we can remain open.
