HOTEL RESERVATIONS AVAILABLE ON ADA.ORG
ADA members now can make reservations at selected Chicago hotels on ADA.org using a new online tool launched earlier this year.

Through the ADA Member Chicago Hotel Program, members can search for hotels and check their availability on desired dates, select room types, and provide contact and credit card information to complete a reservation. Once the reservation is submitted, an acknowledgment will be sent via e-mail from the ADA, followed by an official acknowledgment from the chosen hotel within two to three business days. An ADA member number and credit card number must be provided to secure the booking.

This member benefit can be extended to family, friends and staff members with a limit of three rooms over the same dates. The ADA has negotiated special 2007 discounted rates in Chicago with hotels that include the Affinia Chicago, the Hilton Suites, Homewood Suites by Hilton, the Four Seasons Chicago, the Ritz-Carlton Chicago, The Whitehall and the Wyndham Chicago.

To access this new tool, go to the ADA Member Center ("www.ada.org/goto/members") and select the "Chicago Hotel Reservations" link under the "Member Benefits" heading. Visitors will need to log in to ADA.org using their member numbers and preconfigured passwords to use the reservation system.

If you do not yet have a password for ADA.org member-only access, please contact the Member Service Center toll-free at Ext. 3553 (weekdays 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Central Time) or by e-mail to "mscpassword{at}ada.org".

GIVE KIDS A SMILE
Did you participate in Give Kids A Smile (GKAS), the Association’s annual campaign to focus attention on the epidemic of untreated oral disease among disadvantaged children?

If so, be sure to return to ADA.org to enter your program results. Doing so gives the ADA the ability to gauge national participation in GKAS. Statistics collected so far this year indicate that more than 14,000 dentists provided care and education to some 752,000 children during 2007 GKAS events.

Visit "www.ada.org/goto/gkas" to enter your program results. Those who return to the Web site to update their statistics are eligible to win $500 toward their next GKAS program (two $500 prizes will be awarded).
