Dear Friends,
We have so much to share with you in this newsletter. Thanks to your generosity, our programs are expanding and serving more local residents throughout Ventura County. Please scroll down and take a moment to read more about our new AmeriCorps program and the remarkably successful GradNation summit.
I am very pleased with the progress of our Building Healthy Smiles initiative and our newest partnership with Oxnard Elementary School District. From now through April, kindergartners will receive a dental health assessment and a fluoride varnish, be connected to further dental care, and health insurance, if needed. We recently received a generous Tocqueville Society donation of $10,000 to support Building Healthy Smiles. This month, we’d like to match that generosity with gifts from donors like you. A $500 donation ensures that a mobile dental van is onsite to serve those adorable, smiling faces, who need our help. A $250 donation provides a fluoride varnish, and $100 will cover the expense of the screening forms for a year. Help us achieve our $10,000 matching goal and donate today.
