We are pleased to announce that Pam Arzinger has been honored by the Delaware Dental Hygiene Association with their annual Community Service Award and nominated to receive the Sunstar/ RDH National Award of Distinction.
Pam has been a member of our team for well over 20 years and, in addition to her dental hygiene duties, has led our marketing program for several years. She is the energy behind our yearly “Halloween Candy Buy Back” program for which we pay local trick-or-treaters one dollar per pound of candy. In the three years since its inception, the program has bought back more than 3000 pounds of candy. (That’s nearly seven million cavity causing calories.) The candy, along with toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, letters and telephone cards are sent to our troops overseas. The innovative outreach doesn’t stop there; last year Pam organized a partnership with Stockings for Soldiers. We helped to fill an astonishing 6,600 Christmas stockings for our troops. These simple joys from home can give our soldiers comfort on holidays away from their loved ones. None of this would have happened without Pam’s imagination, commitment and organizational expertise. We are grateful to her and pleased that she has been recognized by her colleagues for her achievements.
