For many years member looked forward to receiving the "Condenser," a publication from this Academy of reminders and also candid photos from the annual meeting. This part of the site is a new and modified "Condenser." Look here for notices and announcements as well as snapshots f rom the last annual meeting. These pictures will be changed monthly - so keep checking - you might see someone you recognize!

Also for members, if you have any change in status or address and wish to have it listed here please let me know. (Dr. Susanne Grennell, P.O. Box 153 Billings, NY 12510)

I hope you enjoy this section and come to it often.

SPONSOR A NEW MEMBER

The academy can accommodate new members on its rolls. Dr. Jan Mitchell, chairperson of our Committee on Membership wrote a good article on the importance of mentorship and the benefits of AOD Membership. You will find the membership application in the Join/Renew menu. There is no application fee. New members pay no dues until after they are voted into membership at the annual meeting; and, further, they are allowed to register at the Annual Meeting at the member's rate while they are in applicant status. Do take the time to bring a colleague into membership in this wonderful Academy.

The RV Tucker Study Club along with the Academy of Operative Dentistry and Academy of Gold Foil Operators is now a participating sponsor of the Journal of Operative Dentistry. This Journal shall be managed by a Board of Directors consisting of the Editor, the Managing Editor, two representatives from the Academy of Gold Foil Operators, two representatives from the Academy of R.V. Tucker Study Clubs and two representatives from this Academy, the Treasurer and one other member of the Executive Council.
