Dear Friends,

In spite of the many years I have been priviledged to serve the UMKC School of Dentistry’s Dr. Roy J. Rinehart Memorial Foundation, I am always thrilled to see the annual list of donors. Believe it or not, each year has been more thrilling than the last because each year the number of donors and the amount of their generosity increases.

The School of Dentistry is indeed blessed to have a growing base of financial and moral support. Without such support, the school would have a much more difficult (if not impossible) time sustaining the level of excellence that makes us so proud to be associated with this institution. What most impresses me, though, is how the school continues to find ways to improve and expand its contributions to dental education, research and patient care. The credit for that can be shared by the school’s dedicated students, faculty and staff, as well as by its alumni and friends who so generously support the school with their time, money and expertise.

On behalf of everyone who has helped the School of Dentistry enjoy another banner year, I thank you. And I look forward to being thrilled again next year by seeing your name included in this list.
