DFO presented three service awards at the Oregon Dental Conference on April 9, 2010, at the Oregon Convention Center.

Dr. Patrick Nearing, DMD and President of the Board of the foundation, presented the DFO Friend of the Foundation Award to Janet P. Peterson, DMD and Molly Morse, RDH for their outstanding volunteerism on the Tooth Taxi. 

Dr. Nearing also recognized Weston W. Heringer, Jr. DMD with the DFO Dental Champion Award for his service as the pediatric dentist on the Tooth Taxi, and for his life-long service to those less fortunate in Oregon and around the world. 

Dr. Kenneth Johnson of Corvallis pulled a 1978 bottle of Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou from our Wall of Wine fund raiser at the ODC.  The bottle, donated by Dr. Anthony Hoffman, is estimated to be worth $175.  The Wall of Wine raised over $7,000 to support DFO program.
