Cipes Pediatric Dentistry is pleased to announce the 2012 Employees of the Year…Jennifer Dube, Nancy Spindler and Samira Jahic!   It was a tough decision because all of our team members excel in so many ways.  However, these three individuals went ‘above and beyond’ this year.

The 2012 selection committee consisted of Maren Madden, Hipolita Fernandez and Jennifer Ashcraft; who were our 2011 Employees of the Year.    This year they planned another creative way to announce the winners…a wedding!   The wedding was complete with a “champagne” toast, proposal, 3 blushing brides, and crying guests!   A great time was had by all of the “guests” and many memories were created.
