Dear members of TOA, ARCO, and CAOS-AP,

------It is my great pleasure to invite you to attend the "Combined Congress of 12th CAOS-AP, 18th ARCO International Symposium, and 68th Annual Congress of TOA" in 2015 at Chiayi county, Taiwan. As the President of Taiwan Orthopaedic Association and the Chairman of the Combined Congress, I extend my warmest welcome to you, your colleagues, business associates, and accompanying persons to take this great opportunity to visit our beautiful country "Formosa Taiwan".

------The exciting events will include a two-day scientific program, special lectures, symposiums, skill workshops, technical exhibitions, and social activities. The Annual Congress of TOA has always been a successful academic event that attracts thousands of attendees domestically and hundreds of international scholars to give presentations, share achievements, exchange ideas, explore novel technologies, and meet old and new friends. Thanks to the board committees of CAOS-AP and ARCO for combining their annual congresses with the TOA. I believe this Combined Congress will be even more successful than before.

------The events will be held in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Chiayi, Taiwan. I would also like to thank Dr. Ying-Huang Tsai, Superintendent of the CGMH, Chiayi for his heartily support. The venue of the congress meeting has good facilities and Chiayi is an ideal tourist destination. Congress organizing team led by Dr. Robert WW Hsu (Emeritus Superintendent) and Dr. Mel S Lee (Vice Superintendent) are doing their best for the success of the congress. We anticipate your support and suggestions anytime before or during the congress.

Please mark your calendar on April 24 and April 25, 2015. I am looking forward to seeing you at Chiayi, Taiwan.

With my best regards,

Steve Wen-Neng Ueng, MD
