FAQ
What Is The Point In This Activity?
You've Been Booed is a simple, low cost way to put a smile on the faces of your colleagues and boost morale. "Boo-ing" begins with one office dropping off a basket/bag of goodies anonymously (or not so secretly) to another dental office. The person who receives the basket/bag in turn "boo's" another dental office, and the chain goes on and on. Offices can put a sign on their door saying "I've been boo'ed!" so there are no duplicates.
Must I Participate?
Nope. You should not feel obligated to go out and "BOO" somebody because you have been Booed. Some people don't pass it on, others may choose to Boo many more than two. What you do is up to you. It is all in good fun and should not be a burden.
Do I Need To BOO A MDA Member?
Nope! MDA Member or not we encourage all to participate.
What "Goodies" Should I Give Out?
It can be anything you want! Cookies, Candy, Games, Toys, Stickers, Fruit, Drinks, etc. Some people make home made treats and other people give pre-packed treats. If you make homemade treats, there may be a good chance your hard work will go right to the trash since people don't know exactly "where it has been". Use your discretion.
When Does Booing End?
Booing occurs during the month of October and will come to an end on Halloween - October 31, 2024.
