Thank You All for Coming and Having Fun! The South Windsor Smiles Family Block Party get balloons inside laundry baskets while the adults relaxed under the provided tent.There was also a taekwondo master who could answer any questions about classes or martial arts and a cartoonist for people to get caricatures drawn. Dr. Norige had a great time talking with patients, interacting with parents, and being dunked in the dunk tank. Although he planned to unveil the dunk tank later in the day, he decided at about noon that he was getting in early; it was over 100 degrees that day! He wore a 1920s one-piece, striped swimsuit as a visual gag, and everyone loved it. When we first announced the dunk tank, we asked that people bring a dollar to donate for each chance to throw a pitch at Dr. Norige. Everyone had a chance to dunk him into the tank — even a few of our team members. People had a great time whether they were throwing or watching him get repeatedly dunked into the water. At the end of the day, we raised nearly $200 to go to theWoundedWarrior Project. Our whole team had a great time talking with our patients and their families. We’re glad that the families, friends, and patients who attended had so much fun!
First and foremost, we want to thank everyone who came to the South Windsor Smiles Family Block Party at the end of July!The idea behind this event was to gather patients, staff, and families together for a fun and exciting event. Our goal was to provide entertainment, lunch, and, most importantly, say thank you to our patients for continuing to choose us as their providers and for referring friends and family members to our offices. However, we didn’t actually manage to make any announcements since everyone was carried away with how much fun we were having. Throughout the day, we provided lunch for everyone who came, which included a catering service that took excellent care of us and our guests.They served a great variety of foods you would bring to a family barbecue. We also provided games and entertainment. Kids enjoyed playing our beanbag toss, trying giant Jenga, and using pool noodles to
