Not much posting but lots happening

We have a few get togethers and time is always the enemy. I apologise for not getting the info out there more quickly however here goes.

Lots of action with many people contacted, lots of good work and as usual the leg work is starting to provide some dividends. So here is the news.

We have talked to the CDA and also Health Canada with really nothing of note to report. Similarly the Dental schools, everybody is happy to talk but really no action at all. The FDI were spearheading some work but we have yet to get a response from Dr Rodriguez.

A logo has been developed and we hope to add it to the blog page when we learn how to do that, (its not easy being old), however I think Leslie Patey will come to the rescue as she did for the logo itself. Gee I guess we are out there now we have an identity, it also will appear on the latest edition of the Newsletter which is just being sent out. Moreover it will have a link from the NLDA website (ah the wonders of the computer age).

Communication with the membership and others has been a problem. It seems that email may be either ignored or disregarded. Anyway we shall try in other ways to keep everyone informed and up to speed. The intention for the AGM of the NLDA is to set up a table next to the registration desk with pictures, and brochures to keep all informed. There will of course be a receipt book handy for any donations.

Talking of which we are still endeavouring to establish our tax deductible status. The General Hospital Foundation has been very supportive but has not given us the go ahead yet. They promise soon.
