What else goes with candy? Dental supplies! This past Easter, Tracy Bowlds, from our Billing Department, helped fill 70 Easter baskets and goodie bags for children from First Community Recovery Church. Tracy, along with seven other volunteer church members spent their afternoon stuffing bags and baskets the weekend before the holiday. There were a total of 10 contributors for the treats inside each bag, and Gentle Dentistry donated toothbrushes and toothpaste.   Children were ten and under and were overwhelmed with excitement when they opened their special treats.

Special thanks to Diane Holzer from our  New Hope clinc and Sue Anderson from Edina for coordinating donation items of toothpaste and toothbrushes.
