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!
