Hi All BDDS Members,

 

I hope your summer is going well and you had a wonderful July 4th celebration.  If you have not registered for our CE Meeting with Dr. Carl E. Misch, please take a moment and reserve your seat.  The response has been good and I am expecting a sellout. It will be advertised to all other ALDA members this week.  Don't get left out of this limited seating lecture on August 24th with Dr. Misch. You can register for the meeting by going to the BDDS website at BDDS.ORG or complete and return the brochure that was mailed to you.  

 

Again, please take a moment to register if you are planning to attend.  If you have a conflict develop, we will refund your fee up to one week before the event. We have a limited number of slots and I do not want BDDS members to miss out on this opportunity. 

  

Dr. Carl E. Mischa world-renowned clinician, lecturer and author in the field of dental implants will present a 

5 hour CE lecture on Friday, August 24th.  The cost is only $150 for ALDA members and includes lunch. See the article below for seminar details.

 

Unfortunately we do not have enough participants for the summer golf scramble.  The Annual BDDS Golf Scramble HAS BEEN CANCELLED.  If you have registered, your $130 registration fee has been refunded by PayPal or your check has been voided and is being mailed to you.  I regret having to cancel the tournament but lack of interest dictates it.

 

 

Thanks......

Richard Morgan

Executive Director

President's Message from Dr. Milton Essig

PROJECTIONS and REFLECTIONS

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

We trust that you have had an enjoyable summer season and along the way were able to schedule time for R & R (Rest and Relaxation).

 

Initially, I wish to express appreciation to our previous President, Dr. Robert Rudolph for his dedicated service and commitment to our society. Additional gratitude is extended to the numerous members who serve on committees, as well as the delegates, representatives, and members of the Executive Council. Your contributions are vital to our success.

Following the tradition of our past leadership, I wish to apprise you of our future activities.

GENERAL INFORMATION -TRENDS - 

POLITICAL UPDATES

 

We will keep our meetings succinct but will continue to inform you of ever changing events at the state and national levels while providing current news within our society.

 

FINANCES AND ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT

 

The society has improved its financial status and your Executive Council (EC) continues to be committed to fiduciary accountability. In concert with the EC, your Executive Director, Mr. Richard Morgan has worked diligently with our Treasurer, Dr. Gerry Walker to insure cost efficient management of our resources. Concomitantly, Mr. Morgan has established a dynamic website that represents a marvelous modality for timely updates and information. Furthermore, in recognizing the significance of digital media, the BDDS is now on Facebook and Twitter.

 

REFLECTIONS

 

Having been a BDDS member for thirty six years, I can state unstintingly that I have left every meeting with one or more "educational pearls" that strengthened my knowledge bank.

 

Many times, the interpersonal interaction with colleagues provided collateral knowledge which augmented the formal C E presentation. Quite honestly, I never wanted to miss a single meeting, as each time I walked away wiser for having attended.

 

As always, we welcome your input, and accordingly, I look forward to greeting you at our meetings for a rewarding evening of friendship, camaraderie, information, and "take home pearls of new knowledge."

 

Cordially,

                                               

Milton E. Essig
