Help us honor the life and legacy of Dr. James T. Mellonig
In 2021, periodontology lost one of its greats, Dr. James T. Mellonig. Dr. Mellonig was an educator, researcher, mentor and friend to many, and his presence is keenly missed throughout the specialty. At this year's AAP Annual meeting in Austin, TX, we will gather to pay tribute to the life and legacy of this great man. Join us for the AAP Foundation Mellonig Memorial Dinner.
Enjoy hors d'oeuvres, an elegant dinner, cocktails, and the company of friends and colleagues who knew Jim best. We will share our memories of him and toast the impact he made on the specialty and on our own lives. After the dinner, you are invited to stay for the AAP Foundation Hoedown.
Date: Friday, November 10th
Time: 7:00pm - 8:30pm
Place: Speakeasy Austin, 412 Congress Ave. D, Austin, TX 78701
