2006 GLAO Annual Session
September 7-10
Grand Rapids, Michigan
2006 has marked the 80th anniversary of the Great Lakes Association of Orthodontists. There was a “Grand Celebration!” held in Grand Rapids, Michigan September 7th-10th. The Celebration began the afternoon of Thursday September 7th with a scramble format golf tournament at the prestigious Thousand Oaks Golf Course. On Friday the 8th, a Staff Appreciation Dinner was attended by over 200 attendees! This was followed by a Celebration Reception for all attendees. Although the fireworks were rained out this year, the Celebration Reception was fun for all with food, music and fun! On Saturday evening, the Van Andel Museum was the site for the black-tie President’s Dinner Dance.
Below are just some of the highlights from the 2006 GLAO 'Grand Celebration' Annual Session.
