CELEBRATE YOUR FAMILY! Sept. 26 shines a light on a particularly important holiday: National Family Day. Families can come in all shapes and sizes, from caring family members to close friendships. While each family unit may be different, one thing is for certain: These relationships are filled with unconditional love.

Now is the perfect time to show your appreciation to the people you care about the most, even if they can drive you crazy from time to time.

There are plenty of ways we can celebrate, too, even if we might not have the opportunity to meet up with our family members.

YOUR PHOTO COULD BE ON PAGE 4 OF THIS NEWSLETTER! We want to see your best photo from the month of August! Please email your best shot to elkinsdental@hotmail.com with the subject line "Photo Contest". We can't wait to see what you've got!

If you haven’t talked with someone in quite some time, give them a call or plan a video chat to catch up. It might even be fun to plan a safe, social- distance picnic at a local park. It’s important to treasure the family we have in our lives. This holiday serves as a fantastic reminder to set some time aside to let loved ones know how much you care, not just on National Family Day but all year round.
