  37. Soliciting Donated Equipment • First Step was ADEC (Father Joe) equipment company. This first step met with firm resistance because of the WRONG ASK. • The CORRECT ASK was consistent with the clinic’s overall philosophy of …do good, but just a little. • This path plus ZERO dollars initially available had several fortunate consequences. a. Competition (Pelton and Kavo) b. Showroom for comparison c. Exclusive Equip., Cabinets, IT, instruments. ( Thank You Celebration Picture) AND

  38. The engagement of a Local Supply Company Valley Dental Equipment Company Dr. Gordon Osterhaus Steve Farni Valley Dental Equipment Co. went from excellent businessmen to compassionate coordinators, mentors, referral source, supporters, and co-solicitors. They were co-solicitors with a fortunate edge. ( Similar to dentists and labs)
