Coastal Cascades Starts Meetups
CCDS started “meetups” in June. Meetups are an informal way to gather, where RSVPS are welcome but not necessary. You can just show up, and if there is a cost, you would pay your own way. Our first meetup was on June 13th and was at Mt. Pisgah. Hiking Dentists and Staff gathered and hiked up the mountain. Our next meetup is at PLAY arcade in Eugene on August 11th. Dentists are welcome and bring staff and/or family, hang out and have fun with other people in the dental community who enjoy games. There is also Bingo on Tuesday nights, so you could get lucky! We also have another hike scheduled for October 10th. We will have more details about that event coming soon.
Old Timers Luncheon Met in June
A retiree luncheon was held on the second Tuesday in June. Every year it is on the second Tuesday, so planning ahead is easy! This year, it was at Roaring Rapids Pizza in Eugene. Attendees included Dr. Bob Carmichael, Dr. James Gant, Dr. John Robinson, Dr. Cedric R. Hayden, Dr. Cedric L. Hayden, Dr. Lohring Miller, and Dr. Lawrence Raugh. Another retiree luncheon will be held on the Second Tuesday in December, in Corvallis or Albany (TBD). We will have two luncheons a year so retirees can have two opportunities to connect with old friends and make new ones! We are hoping to make this a very special event and look forward to sharing more information soon.
September Social and Partnership with Lane Community College
September 17th will be our 3rd Social at Lane Community College in the Healthcare Professionals Building. This gives dentists the Opportunity to mix and mingle with dentists and with dental instructors at Lane Community College. The Lane Community College Foundation cohosts the event.
There are two LCC dental program scholarships that are set up and can be donated to through the LCC Foundation. The Jan Malone Dental Assisting Scholarship was established in 2004 in honor of Jan Malone, who served as the Executive Secretary for 27 years. This scholarship covers the cost of national certification exams for LCC Dental Assisting students. The Jen Helling Memorial Scholarship was established after Jen, a LCC dental hygiene graduate. She was diagnosed with melanoma during her second year in the program. Cancer claimed her life three years after she graduated. This scholarship is for dental hygiene students in their second year.
