In collaboration with Colgate’s Bright Smile- Bright Future Team, the children at Beginning with Children Charter School in Williamsburg, Brooklyn were treated to a gala funfest dental event including an in-troduction to Dr. Rabbit and Dr. Brushwell.

The day’s activities began with an oral health education presentation; followed by viewing of “The Legend of Tooth King-dom”, the children were then escorted to a fantasy dental offi ce, which was created by a magical makeover of the school library. Following oral screening, the children re-ceived oral health packets and then were engaged in group activities with a dental health theme. Those who were found to need care were identifi ed and their parents notifi ed. The venues included but were not limited to New York City College of Tech-

nology Dental Hygiene Department, NY Methodist Hospital, Brookdale Hospital, and the Beginning with Children Charter School. The enthusiasm and support of the staff at all sites enhanced the success of the day’s activities.

INVITED TO VOTE

ON

NYSDA PROPOSED

BYLAW

AMENDMENTS

The New York State Dental Asso-ciation will be conducting mem-bership voting on two proposed amendments to the State Associa-tion’s bylaws.

The fi rst amendment (101-2008) will ask the membership to ap-prove a $70 dues increase for the NYSDA portion of your tripartite dues. If approved, it would raise your NYSDA dues from $407 to $477, effective 2009. This mea-sure would require a majority vote of those members voting to be approved.

The second amendment (102-2008) will ask the member-ship to approve a reorganization of the fi nancial leadership posi-tions of the State Association, eliminating inconsistencies of certain functions and strength-ening the role of the Secretary-Treasurer. This measure would

require a two-thirds vote of those members voting to be approved.

Voting on the proposals will only take place at the SDDS Scien-tifi c Meetings on March 13th and April 10th and at the March 18th meeting of the Richmond County Dental Society.
