1/29/10: Raise Money for PDS Charities using Goodsearch!

Want to help raise money for some of PDS's favorite charities?  All
you have to do is make a quick search!  Our club is now part of
GoodSearch.  GoodSearch is a search engine powered by Yahoo that
donates a certain percentage of each search made to our organization.
Using it is free and easy and generates the same results as other
search engines.

 To use it go to: http://www.goodsearch.com and below the search
bar there is a gray box that says "Who do you GoodSearch For?"  Enter
our group in the box (Davis Predental Society or pre dental society) and click verify/enter. The box will now read in Bold letters "University of California Davis
- Pre Dental Society (Davis, CA)" and beneath red letters will say
"Search now and money will go to your designated cause."  This
guarantees that our club will receive credit for your searches.  You
only need to do this part once, GoodSearch will automatically remember
you for next time.

Make Good Search your home page or add it as a Bookmark to your web
browser!  The more legitimate searches you make, the more money we can
generate for our organization.  So please, spread the word to others
and make Good Search your new search engine :)

If 100 of our members average just 2 searches per day we can generate
$730 per year!  We can then donate this money to some of our favorite
charities

11/17/08: Donate your Dental Stuff - Toothbrush Drive!

PDS is starting the Donate your Dental Supplies collection drive for toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss in order to put on community health fairs during the winter and spring quarters. Starting Wednesday, November 19th at Dr. Hodges' Presentation, we will be collecting donations of dental supplies in exchange for raffle tickets. We will draw a few winners each meeting until the end of the year! For every 5 toothbrushes, toothpaste, or floss you bring in, you will receive 1 raffle ticket. (HINT: The DollarTree has toothbrushes 10 for $1!) Also, there is no limit as to how many items you can bring in. Please help us reach our ultimate goal of 2,000 items by the end of the year! If we read our goal, PDS will throw the entire club a social event of YOUR CHOICE!

Your donations are much appreciated!
