General Membership Meeting Dates
FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 2020
All the way from California, we welcome Janice Hurley and her Dental Image and Clinical Etiquette program. Join us at Avalon Manor, Merrillville, to find out how your office can create a great impression and give the best service possible to your patients. She will help provide team training on the patients' point of view in respect to the dental practice and help you measure the cost of misunderstandings and inaccurate judgements. This will be a morning program with breakfast buffet included.

The Heston Supper Club in
LaPorte will welcome our group for a discussion with one of our very own, Dr. David E. Peters from
