GREATER ORLANDO DENTAL HYGIENE ASSOCIATION
NEWSLETTER
JULY 2009 |
Greetings!
This year the focus is on others..."Pay it Forward". In these times of need, anything we can give or services we can provide will benefit others. The meetings will include two different opportunities to contribute. We will be collecting old cell phones, along with the chargers for Harbor House. We will also be accepting canned or packaged food for a local food bank. GODHA's half of the 50/50 will be donated to the food bank as well. These are small things but huge to a person in need. If any member knows of a volunteer situation where our skills can be utilized, please feel free to contact any of the board members. I am sure I speak for all of us when I say, "no gift is too small". We are looking forward to the Fall when the meetings resume. Have a safe and restful summer.
Kae Sylvia,RDH
President
