Co-founders, Fish for Teeth

After five years of dedicated volunteer service, Margaret Johnson has stepped down as the coordinator of the dental clinics sponsored by Fish For Teeth. Liz Pillow has also volunteered for nearly four years and is also stepping back from her participation. The Fish for Teeth board and supporting volunteers, as well as those who they assisted in receiving dental services, owe them much gratitude for their consistently outstanding effort.

Fish for Teeth is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing dental services to those who cannot otherwise afford dental care.

We are looking to assemble Team Tooth — the team of volunteers who work with the Fish For Teeth board and share the duties of conducting three, two-day dental clinics, which occur consistently in late January, mid-May and early October.

Pre-Clinic Duties: Confirm scheduling of the mobile dental van with Medical Teams International; confirm hotel accommodations for the dental van driver; schedule patients into the dental van; send press releases to online and written news journals, and post posters about the clinics.

Day-of Clinic Duties: Receive patients and assure necessary paperwork is completed.

We are not proposing just one or two people do all these tasks, but a team which can share the tasks so it is a fun and enjoyable volunteer effort.
