  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Penny Gage for 
her dedication and commitment to the Dental Industry. Ms. Gage has 
served as a Tri-County Dental Society executive director for over 30 
years. During this time membership expanded from 700 to 2000 members. 
She was a strong promoter in building a relationship between the 
society and the dental students within the two dental schools in the 
program's area. Ms. Gage has been active in participating with the 
American Association of Dental Editors and Journalist organization in 
providing ideas and proof-reading the AADEJ's newsletters. She has also 
served with the American Dental Association.
   During her time with the Tri-County Dental Society she developed the 
``Give Kids a Smile'' program as well as encouraged members to help 
provide free dental clinics. That program has led to another 
exceptional program, ``Give Adults a Smile'', which she also supports. 
Ms. Gage has developed a network of relationships throughout dentistry 
and has been essential to its promotion and progress in these areas. 
Actions such as hers have helped to make more smiles possible.
   Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I recognize Ms. Penny 
Gage for her long time service to the Tri-County Dental Society and 
oral health promotion as a whole. Her achievements in expanding 
membership and programming helped to improve the lives of many and help 
everyone to smile more.
