TAKE A BREAK

auspicious, and if your business is relatively old, make sure the year it was founded is on your card. The practice of giving and receiving cards is very similar to that of Japan. Finish the exchange with a bow as a way to thank your acquaintance for meeting with you.
India
Business cards are exchanged even in nonbusiness interactions in India. Much like hierarchy and status are valued in Japan, academic achievements are valued in India, so list your university, degrees, and honors along with your other information. When exchanging cards, always give and receive them with your right hand. This is also common practice in many Middle Eastern countries. Exchanging business cards the wrong way probably won’t be detrimental to your business deal, but learning the proper etiquette in the country you’re visiting can go a long way in starting a professional relationship on the right foot.
MAKING STRIDES
Ortho Technology Stands Against Breast Cancer
Earlier this October, Ortho Technology took steps to combat cancer — literally! Our team donned our running shoes and best pink outfits and joined the American Cancer Society’s annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. Together with other volunteer teams, we raised money that went directly to research grants, as well as to personal assistance and support services to patients. The event was a huge success with our team alone raising hundreds of dollars for this important cause. Each member had their reasons for standing up to breast cancer, but we all came together to say “enough is enough.” We applaud the efforts of the American Cancer Society and look forward to attending this event in even greater numbers next year! Want to get involved? Check out the link to our team’s page on our Facebook page! Your office can even form your own team and participate in walks in your community!
Month, we launched our Get Pink sale. All month long, we’ve been highlighting pink orthodontic equipment, from ULTRA-GUARD mouthguards to retainer retrievers, and donating a portion of the proceeds to the Henry Schein Cares Foundation. The HSC Foundation is dedicated to “helping health happen” by expanding access to care for at-risk and underserved populations. This
includes making mammograms available in communities that may not have otherwise had the option for this vital step in fighting breast cancer. Thank you to our volunteers and the many supporters who participated in our Get Pink event. Together, we’ve made strides to make breast cancer a thing of the past. While it may be outside our orthodontic wheelhouse, I think we can all agree a cancer-free world is something to smile about.
Of course, we didn’t stop with just this one event. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness
