The Ninth District Dental Association in New York state, a regional association with more than 1,600 members, is marking its 100th anniversary this year with a Centennial Celebration. A black-tie gala will be held on 2 May at the Hotel Thayer at West Point featuring a dinner dance and cocktail hour. Commemorative exhibits and memorabilia will be on display, and attendees will have the opportunity to tour the military academy.
According to the current leadership of the Ninth District Dental Association, the 100-year milestone is a chance not only to reflect upon past success but to look forward to an exciting second century.
“The 35 original charter members would be astounded to see our organization today — nearly 1,700 strong — a larger membership than 23 state organizations. They would be impressed with our staff and our headquarters building. Most of all, they would be humbled by the caliber of members who have contributed to the advancement of dentistry as well as the advancement of the profession on national, state and local levels,” said Dr Edward Feinberg and Dr Gary Scharoff, co-chairmen of the Centennial Celebration, in a letter to members. “Ninth District members have made their mark everywhere.”
Feinberg and Scharoff said that the celebration also marks the launch of exciting new educational initiatives. Both men expressed appreciation for the team at Henry Schein Inc. — particularly Jack Abrams and Steve Kess — and to corporate sponsors Coltène Whaledent and 3M for their support in making the centennial event a reality and for inspiring the organization to chart new paths for the future. “These companies have not only provided much needed financial support, they have planned unique educational events this year that you won’t want to miss,” said Feinberg and Scharoff.
The Ninth District Dental Association is credited with playing a major role in the advancement of the dental profession during the past 100 years. It has made tremendous contributions over the years to the New York State Dental Association and to the American Dental Association.
“It is truly amazing how the Ninth has grown during the past 100 years,” Feinberg and Scharoff said. “From a small group of practitioners, the Ninth has become a well-respected leader in the community that has tremendous clout with professionals, the public and government officials. We have so much to celebrate as we look back at the last 100 years, and we have so much to do as we make plans for the next 100 years.”
