Hey Sammers, We hope spring break has been wonderful, and you guys are refreshed and ready to start spring quarter! Per usual, we would like to announce the opening of sign-ups for our April 17th clinic trip: the window will close Thursday April 8th at midnight. A profound thanks to everyone who signed up for last month’s clinic trip! To our great dismay, we felt the need to take the extra precaution of cancelling the trip due to the travel advisory to Mexico issued by the State Department on March 14, 2010. However, we do not anticipate having to forgo this month’s trip, although it may be subject to cancellation. Sign up asap, especially if you can drive or translate, we will be needing your help!

NOTES:
We are still in need of more DENTAL health professionals to join us on the trips. Please refer any interested dentists or dental hygienists to our email, and we would love to give them more information on our clinic! As always, we are also always collecting donations for our patients from clothes and shoes, to bedding and household items. We are able to pick up any donations at your convenience. Thank you in advance for your support!

Dear all, We just wanted to extend our sincere thanks to all of you who offered to attend the March 20th clinic trip and help out, as always we appreciate your help more than we can say. Unfortunately, due to the recent Mexico travel advisory issued by the State Department on March 14th, 2010, we have decided it is in our best interests to delay the clinic trip for the time-being, just as a precautionary measure. We thank you for your understanding on this issue, it is always incredibly difficult to miss a trip to the clinic, both for us, and especially for our patients. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do contact us. Best of luck on finals, and have a safe spring break!

Sincerely,
MJ Vennat and Yas Sanaiha
Co-Clinic Coordinators 2009-2010

Hey Sammers,

Thanks to everyone who helped out in February, it was an incredibly eventful month for our clinic, with more patients than ever! Unfortunately, we also learned that our roof is in need of further fixing: the construction efforts of last year and the drywall did not hold up as well as expected against the rain. We are making plans accordingly, so watch out for a construction trip opportunity! In the meantime, the window for our trip has officially opened and will close Thursday, March 11th at midnight. Sign up asap, especially if you can drive or translate, we will be needing your help! We are still in need of more DENTAL health professionals to join us on the trips. Please refer any interested dentists or dental hygienists to our email, and we would love to give them more information on our clinic! As always, we are also always collecting donations for our patients from clothes and shoes, to bedding and household items. We are able to pick up any donations at your convenience. Thank you in advance for your support, you guys are amazing! Let me know if you have any problems with the form at ucicliniccoordinator@gmail.com
