Hi Everyone,

It was a beautiful (actually hot) day in NYC yesterday. I have no idea how many people showed up, but to me it seemed like alot. They were mostly dental and hygiene students from the NYU and Columbia Dental schools. Perhaps Barb will write and fill in more of the details.

Barb spoke eloquently at the start of the event and represented our group in top fashion. It came as no surprise to me that she raised the most money. I don't know how much money was raised, but I'm sure that Brian will have a total for us as soon as he knows.

Barb and Sheldon and I with our wives, found each other. Unfortunately, I don't know if any other OCF members were there as we were not given name tags. I will be forwarding some photos to Brian in the hope that he will be able to get them posted on the site.

Before the walk began and then again at the end (in a different location), tents were set up and free oral screening exams were being done. There was plenty of water given out and it was very welcome on such a hot day.

Again, I want to thank those of you that sent checks. I have personally contacted you all already to thank you privately and if other checks arrive, I will forward them on to Brian and let you know that they were received.

I'm hoping that this becomes an annual event and that more OCF members will be able to attend next time. If so, we will have to come up with some way for us to find each other.

Jerry
