Halfway to Scholarship Goal!
A little over half the needed money has been raised to meet the Bryant Area Chamber of Commerce’s goal of funding twenty-five $500 scholarships for graduating seniors. “We are being ambitious but feel like our community’s com-mitment to further the education of our youth will prove we can meet the goal,” noted Education Committee Chairman Todd Sellers of Bethel Middle School.

Hamilton has Water/Laser Dental Tool Hamilton Family Dentistry has upgraded with a Waterlase iPlus.The laser system from BIOLASE Technology, Inc., is a revolutionary dental tool that uses a combination of laser energy and water to perform dental procedures with fewer shots and less anesthesia. It is approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for use lots of dental work - from fixing cavities to preparing teeth for crowns and root canals, and treating cold sores/fever blisters. The combination of laser and water provides a quick and unique cutting action that is precise and gentle, so it preserves healthy tooth or gums. The idea is to fix the diseased part without damaging adja-cent healthy tissue. Laser-assisted dentistry gives a big advantage in providing excellent clinical care with maximum patient comfort.

Why is a South Route From I-30 Needed? The Economic Development Committee and Civic and Gov Committee have joined together to create a presentation to explain why a South Route is needed from Interstate 30. A few of the points to support the South Route are traffic relief, school and residential growth, safety is-sues for our first responders and we are missing out on jobs. Speakers from this committee will be at civic groups talking about this issue. If you need more informa-tion or would like for us to share this presentation with your group, please call or email the Chamber. We appreciate your attention and involvement. We also ask that you speak with your elected city officials.
