Happy New Year! May 2012 be a most amazing year filled with excitement, joy and success for each of you.
Angels
The word “angel“ is a Greek word meaning messenger. The wings that angels wear are said to symbolize peace and love. Once again, Family Dental Care Park Ridge had an outpouring of generosity as we participated for a second year in the Angel Tree Program. I’d like to think that each of you who so generously donated to help bring a smile to a child at Christmas this year are angels yourselves. You were indeed messengers of kindness….messengers of peace and love. The joy that you brought to many children this year is priceless. I am so honored to have patients that are so giving and so loving. Thank you so very much. As promised, a name was drawn randomly from the many participants this year to win a gift certificate for a dinner on Family Dental Care Park Ridge at one of the Wildfire Restaurants. This years winner is Chris Collins. Thank you Chris and all of the participants for making the Angel Tree Program such a huge success!!
Pinterest
Pinterest!! Those of you who are familiar with Pinterest know, just by seeing that word that I am talking big time addiction. Those of you who aren’t familiar with Pinterest, let me enlighten you! Pinterest is a new social networking site that is still in beta format and so, to participate you need an “invitation”. Let me know if you would like an invitation and I will be happy to send one your way. With Pinterest, you share your interests via photos…photos that you find on websites, photos that you find on online businesses, photos that you have taken…photos. Within your own account on Pinterest (which is free BTW) you create boards that will organize your favorite “stuff”. So, for example, you can create a board that you call Trees and you can share images of trees that you have found online or that you have taken yourself. Food seems to be a big favorite category on Pinterest so, say you love to bake…you can create a board that is called Favorite Cookies and you can post images of cookies that you love from online recipe sites or of cookies that you have photographed when you are baking. For me, the organizing of my boards is the most challenging but I am catching on. One of my friends, Brankica Underwood wrote a fabulous article about Pinterest that really explains it so much better than I have here so you might want to take a look here at her post. My Pinterest page can be found here if you want to see what I find fun and interesting.
Patience
Patience is a virtue…or so they say. The vision that is our new office is still crystal clear and standing there right in front of us. I am leery of making another projected opening date because I don’t want to disappoint people again and so, I have a projected goal. The projected goal for the opening of the new office is… very early Spring…how’s that for vague? We are now referring to our exciting project as a fabulous work in process. We are constantly in the conversation of “life in the new office”. We want you to be in the conversation of “life in the new office” as well. Do you have suggestions as to what you want to see? If you were to design the perfect dental office, what would you include?
Share with us! Let us know! We really love your suggestions and ideas! See the comment box below? Don’t let it feel neglected….use it! AND….see the “email” tab up there on the tool bar? I’d love it if you signed up to receive our website posts! Or, if you have any questions you’d like answered, click on the “contact us” tab and we’ll get right back to you!
And remember, as always…we LOVE making you smile!
