Updated 4/9/2025

Please plan to join AESC President Gary Lelli and Kelly Bottger for the 67th Annual Meeting of the American Eye Study Club!  Dates are Sunday, August 3 through Friday, August 8, 2025, and we'll be gathering at the stunning Coeur d'Alene Resort in the panhandle of Idaho.  

 

ADVENTURE STARTS HERE!   Situated on the picturesque Lake Coeur d'Alene, the American Eye Study Club returns to the panhandle of Idaho for our 67th Annual Meeting. Golf, boating, swimming, hiking and much more awaits you. Coeur d'Alene is just a 30-40 minute drive from the Spokane, WA, airport making it a convenient trip to the Rocky Mountains. And once there, you are treated to stunning views and a myriad of outdoor activities.
 
As we continue planning for the meeting, additional information will be posted on this webpage, so check back again!

About Coeur d'Alene 

 
It was 1993 and Bill Quayle was president the last time the AESC members and families descended on Coeur d'Alene, and we are thrilled to bring the group back for another visit!
