Dear Members of

As we look forward to the rest of the year, I wish to have suggestions from the members on the activities which you wish to have, the kind of programs what can make a difference and what not…anything on which we can work on. . |

I assure our members that we will make 2009 a great calendar year for all of us. Along with the Secretary, we intend to conduct good CDE programs, wonderful family get together functions, interesting & relaxing monthly meetings, fascinating locations for Executive meetings, good membership strength, cordial relationships among all our members, bring IDA to the public, involve dental fraternity in a larger scale with the School dental health program, conduct a major state function in our branch, bring BIDA to greater heights etc Let me also invite all our members, our sponsors and well wishers to join with IDA Kochi in making our dream home GCDS building a reality. We will form a building committee and will seriously delve into matters from day one to make this a reality. I thank the previous office members for giving IDA Kochi a great year in bringing back the unity and integrity it used to have during yesteryears. Thank you one and all.

This year we have worked with more cohesiveness and interest and that has given us good results as well. We have achieved record membership this year. We have numerous registrations in HOPE and IMAGE. We have many new members joining the association. We had a year with numerous activities and better attendance. We have improved on our journal and we have initiated our march to construct our own building. As we move on, we should also plan to achieve and create long term goals which could be a kind of value addition to the association. Treading back, we should be able to tell the next generation of dental surgeons about our origin, the great works of our senior members and pass on our legacy. Won’t it be nice to read the tunes of the founder members and also of the unsung heroes? Won’t it be nice to have a platform for all of us to gather, discuss and express ourselves and be what we really are? We have had numerous programs this year and sure we are going to have a few State Programs as well. July and August will host many more interesting activities which include- Teacher training program, NOHP, Spending a day with geriatrics, Adoption of Orphanage, Family meet, Adoption of a mentally and physically challenged school, State Dental Doctors sports meet, CDE & CDH Conveners meet, State CDE program on Oral Cancer, HOPE representatives meet, Onam celebrations, Dental exhibition, CDH activities etc Now the tempo which has been attained has to be maintained. And I am certain at the end of the year, we will be able to look back and say, indeed we had a great IDA year. Once again thanks to everyone’s support. Thank you one and all.
