Long Tan Dental Program, Vietnam
Fellow Colin Twelftree OAM is pleased to advise that Fellow Greg Miller of South Australia will become the new Coordinator of the Long Tan Dental Program in South Vietnam. Colin deeply appreciates the interest expressed by several Section VIII Fellows in the position which resulted from email notifications sent to Fellows in our Section. The ICD Board wishes to congratulate Greg on his appointment and to thank Colin for his dedication to improving oral health in the village of Long Tan and the Phước Tuy Province over the past twenty years. Our Section is proud to support the Long Tan Dental Program.
Closer to home, 100th anniversary induction ceremonies and dinners will be held in Melbourne in August and in Christchurch in October. Further details about the 100th anniversary events will be advised as arrangements are finalised. Invitations will be sent to all Fellows.

Masters are Fellows in good standing who at the time of their nomination have rendered extraordinarily conspicuous and outstanding service to the College. The awarding of the status of Master is considered a rare distinction. The numbers admitted to this status are such as not to lessen the honour so conferred. Approval of the International Council or its Executive Committee must be obtained before Mastership is awarded having received prior nomination from the Section.
Dr Clive Ross CNZM, NZ - with the passing of Syd Dobbin AM, Clive Ross CNZM is now the only Master Fellow in Section VIII.
