The Fourth District Dental Society presented its first Dr. Mark A. Bauman Scholarship Award to Rachel LaPlante. The award was made Aug. 3l during a Zoom meeting. The Fourth District hopes to make this an annual award. It was established to honor the memory of Dr. Bauman and as tribute to his contributions to the district. It is intended to recognize a first-year hygiene student at Hudson Valley Community College who demonstrates attributes consistent with Dr. Bauman’s professional characteristics, that is, potential for leadership, activity in the community, and support of fellow students. Wayne Harrison and May Hwang presided over the award ceremony.
Meeting was a Party The annual Fourth District Women Dentist Meeting took the form of an outdoor garden party. It was held on Sept. 12 at the home of Loren Baim. The date was chosen to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Mark Bauman, who was born on Sept. 12, 1947. Dr. Bauman was a co-founder of the district’s Women Dentist Meeting in 2009, and a beloved friend and colleague to many. We were fortunate to have Maria Maranga, recently elected ADA Second Vice President, speak to attendees. The party was hosted by Dr. Baim, Women Dentist chairs May Hwang and Christina Cocozzo, and the Fourth District Dental Society. Event sponsors were Bank of America and MLMIC.
Maria Maranga traveled to the Fourth District from Suffolk County to ask women dentists to support her candidacy for ADA Second Vice President. She was declared winner at the ADA Annual Meeting in October.
