Running For A Good Cause—Heart Health
This is the first year we participated in the Healthy Hearts Foundation's 10th Annual Heart to Heart 5K Run and we hope to make this one of our annual events. Members of our staff ran, and we also got our hearts pumping in the fitness walk. We enjoyed sharing the connection between dental health and heart disease at our information table. We heard many walkers pledging to enter the 5K next year. Thanks to our patients for coming out to cheer us on!
The Healthy Hearts Foundation's goal is to raise awareness of heart disease and to encourage healthy lifestyles. They provide multiple Automated External Defibrillators (AED's) to the community and provide cardiac rehabilitation, medications and treatments to patients when they are in need. The foundation encourages young children to make healthy choices by providing teaching materials and equipment to local elementary school. A very worthwhile organization and we are proud to support it.
Enjoying the camaraderie at the race are, left to right, Christie Knauf, Dental Assistant; Sheri Patterson, Dental Assistant; and Diane Good, Business Assistant. Thanks for all of your hard work planning and preparing for the event!
Harleysville Country Fair Days Parade
Honoring all of our veterans on Memorial Day, Weaver, Reckner & Reinhart staff and our families marched in the Saturday parade at the Harleysville Jaycees' 43rd Annual Country Fair Days.
Our children tossed out the traditional treats along the parade route from our decorated pickup truck. This much-loved community fundraising event supports local charities and non-profits. We were honored to be part of the celebration!

5th Annual Movie Night Collects Food for Needy
More than 200 patients, staff, and family members came out to WRR's 5th Annual Movie Night for a free screening of Nanny McPhee at the Sellersville Theater on August 25. Their generous donations allowed us to collect more than four laundry baskets full of fruit, vegetables, and canned goods to donate to Manna on Main Street. We thank our patients and staff for their generosity and for helping us aid those who are struggling in our community.
Our guests enjoyed popcorn and soft drinks on us, and we had fun giving away four $20 gift cards for iTunes. We look forward to spending time with our patients outside the office at this annual event.

Supporting our Community with Help from Rita’s
Nearly 100 patients joined Weaver, Reckner & Reinhart Associates staff and their families for an afternoon of fun and free water ice to support local students on August 2. At the Rita’s in Harleysville, patients and their families donated enough school supplies to fill more than 20 backpacks for the Keystone Opportunity Center. Rita’s also generously donated a portion of the proceeds to the Keystone Opportunity Center. We thank our patients and Rita’s for a successful event!

Cavity Crusaders Visits Local Elementary Schools

In honor of National Children’s Dental Health Month in February, Weaver, Reckner & Reinhart Dental Associates again sponsored the Cavity Crusaders show at Souderton elementary schools. While watching the Hilarious Magic of Sam Sandler, children learned proper brushing and healthy eating habits in a funny and fascinating way.
This is the second year we sponsored this show. “Dental education and community are two very important values at our practice,” said Dr. Todd Weaver, D.M.D., F.A.G.D. “We got a superb response from children, parents, and teachers last year, so we wanted to continue and grow the program.”
In addition to the show, every child received a free toothbrush and two-minute hourglass, provided by the practice, to encourage two minutes of brushing two to three times a day.
Hygienists Visited Preschools
In addition to the Cavity Crusaders show, our hygienists visited local nursery schools, preschools and daycare facilities to educate youngsters on the importance of good dental hygiene, healthy eating habits and regular dental visits. These children received free toothbrushes and two-minute hourglasses, as well.
“We want children to be comfortable with dentists at a young age and start good habits early,” said Dr. Weaver. “We offer dentistry services specific to children and try to make our offices kid-friendly from the reception room to the big chair. By sending the hygienists they see at the dentist office to the schools, we hope to reinforce a positive association with the dentist office and dental health.”
From our offices in Souderton and Harleysville, Weaver, Reckner & Reinhart Dental Associates offers comprehensive dental services for patients of all ages. Since 1993, the practice has focused on its commitment to total dental health and the things we value most—convenience, comfort, education, industry advancement, and personal relationships.
WRR Team Takes a Day to Tour Philadelphia & Adopts a Hippo
To thank the hardworking staff at Weaver, Reckner & Reinhart, the Doctors took the team out for a Tour of Philadelphia in October 2008. We toured on the open trolley, and enjoyed a meal at the Reading Terminal Market. We also took a tour of the vet hospital at the Philadelphia Zoo, and to support the zoo, adopted a hippo we’ve named Diva.
