The holiday season is upon us as we enter the last two months of 2000. During this time of Thanksgiving, I would like to say thank you to the many clients, seminar attendees, associations and dental companies who have continued to support the Linda Miles System of Management over the past twenty-two years. My staff and I wish you and your families a bountiful Thanksgiving and a fun holiday season with families and loved ones.

ADA CHICAGO

One of the highlights of October was attending two days of the ADA Meeting in Chicago. It was great seeing all of my friends at the Academy of Dental Management Consultants (ADMC).

Belinda Bryant, incoming president, along with Susan DiGiambattista, and Betsy Wheat, past president, did a fabulous job of preparing one of the best educational meetings of ADMC.

Our corporate sponsors, including Care Credit, added to the success with refreshment breaks and a formal reception Friday evening at the Inter-Continental Hotel.

Our speakers included Dr. Jeff Carter and Dr. Harold Demaree of T.H.E. Designs. T.H.E. has teamed up with Pelton Crane to develop and innovative circuitry board (at the head of the patient) to store the technology "toys" that seem to clutter most treatment rooms. Call T.H.E. at 512.328.7744 for more information on their upcoming design courses. They have been an industry leader for over two decades.

Another fascinating presentation was given by Dr. Don Lewis on Employee Embezzlement and Fraud. With 25% of all dentists being embezzled from by un-authorized long-distance telephone calls to supplies, and outright loss of revenues, his book Employment Embezzlement & Fraud in the Dental Office: Scams, Schemes & Broken Dreams, is a "must read" for all dentists. For more information, or to hire Don Lewis as a speaker for your dental society or study club call 408.354.4144.

Our third speaker was Mr. Tim Breiding of Breiding Dental Marketing, out of Charlotte, NC. If your image on paper needs updated, call Tim at 800.489.9348, or visit him at www.breidingmarketing.com. Patients judge the dentistry by what they see. Make sure your logo, signs and practice brochure reflects the dentistry you wish to do more of.

CONGRATULATIONS

We would like to congratulate the two lucky winners of our SunFun seminar drawing. They registered through purchasing our new Dental Business Symposium. Dr. Charles Pybus of Amarillo, TX, and Dr. Gerald Rauchwarter of Eagan, MN, have the choice of joining us in Cancun or on our Western Caribbean Cruise.
