Give Vets a Smile Expands in Second Year
Members in our Second District held their Second Annual“ Give Vets a Smile” day on November 18 to help veterans who didn’ t have dental insurance and had limited financial resources. The event tripled services from the first year and expanded the program to three counties – Montgomery, Bucks and Chester). Five dental offices treated 21 veterans and provided more than $ 22,000 of dental care.
