The Home Stretch!
The cold weather is definitely in the air and with that familiar music we are hearing all around us it must mean DECEMBER is here!

It's hard to believe that this is our last eNewsletter of 2008 - where does the time go? December signifies the upcoming Christmas & Hannukah festive seasons as well as the closing of 2008, which has gone by much too fast!


We only have
two weeks left in our food drive!
Please help us help others by dropping off non-perishable food items to contribute to the Daily Bread Food Bank.
This is a critical time of year for them with the holidays so close, every bit of help is greatly appreciated.

When dropping off your donation fill out a ballot to win a prize. We will be drawing a winner at the end of the business day on Dec 19th, our winner will be announced in our January 2009 eNewsletter.

We will also be closed over some of the holiday season so be sure to check the Important Dates
Schedule for a reference of our office hours.



In closing, we
would like to thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to care for your dental needs. We value your business and are grateful for the confidence that you place in our office.

Have a happy and healthy holiday season and the very best in 2009. !

Dr. Silver, Dr. Warshafsky & the staff of Rosedale Dental Centre
