Yesterday was a whirlwind day. Hair and makeup was first on the agenda followed by a limousine ride to the famous Water Tower building. We were greeted by photographers and had a professional photo shoot with a beautiful horse and buggy. While we were there, Shirley Smith, a fellow recipient, noticed an elderly lady sitting in the park and went over to visit with her. Shirley must have a sixth sense because the elderly lady was in the latter stages of Alzheimer’s Disease, and Shirley specializes is treating Alzheimer’s patients. I was so impressed with the kindness and compassion that Shirley showed for this sweet lady. This is just an example of what exceptional people hygienists are!
After the photo shoot, we enjoyed the limo ride to the Sunstar corporate office and plant. Have you ever wondered how toothbrushes were made? This was an incredible tour. We saw each step of how the toothbrush is produced. I was surprised to learn that many steps of the manufacturing and packaging are done by hand. After the tour, we participated in a focus group with the marketing department. I really enjoyed hearing about the new products and appreciated the company asking for our input. Hygienists have firsthand knowledge regarding patients’ needs on the particular dental products and it’s refreshing to be asked our professional opinions. Thank you, Sunstar, for believing in us.
After the focus group, we had another photo shoot. This shoot was more casual than the first one and we really got to show our personalities. Just when we thought we could take a nap, we were whisked back to the hotel to get ready for a formal dinner.
Welcome to my life,
