A Thank you letter regarding Special Olympics
 
Donated Toothbrushes at Special Olympics

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Connecticut Dental Hygienist's Association for a very generous donation of toothbrushes for the Special Olympics Urban Youth Day on April 7th in New Haven Athletic Center.  Through your kindness, each athlete that day was taught about the importance of daily oral hygiene, including proper toothbrushing.  Additionally each athlete, numbering about 300 children, received a toothbrush in their favorite color and walked away with a big smile.  The schools that participated were from Bridgeport, Danbury, Hartford, New Britain, New Haven, Norwalk, Norwich, Stamford and Waterbury.
