Special Day for Special Smiles Volunteer Opportunity

In partnership with Special Olympics Arizona and the Arizona Dental Foundation, A.T.Still University's Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health is looking for volunteers to help provide limited dental treatment to eligible patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities at the Rick Workman Advanced Care Clinic on Friday, October 26, 2018.

 

Last year, dental and non-dental volunteers provided dental services valued at $25,000 to over 75 individuals with disabilities.  They are going to do it again this year.

 

Mesa West Rotarians have the opportunity to help as volunteers who will keep their assigned patient company and entertained while waiting for their turn in the dental chair.  There will be games available to play with our new friends.  There are three shifts available for those who wish to volunteer.  Sign-up sheets will be available at our meetings.  Jeanie Morgan will be coordinating the volunteer schedule.  If you wish to volunteer, but cannot be at a meeting, e-mail Jeanie at dgjeanie1@gmail.com.  The available shifts are:

Mai-Ly Duong, a Rotarian who hopes start a Rotaract Club at A.T.Still as well  as transfer her membership to our club soon, is coordinating this event.  Let's show her some strong Rotarian support with this wonderful community service project.
