Story and Photography by Joyce Taylor 

Guests were welcomed to the View at the Fountains with champagne and a cube of cotton candy to be immersed in the champagne; if a red or blue color appeared, the lucky guest won a door prize. This was a clever way to begin a lovely evening of fellowship along with learning more about the mission of the Interfaith Dental Clinic. The “Story Behind the Smiles” was related by testimonials of three former patients, Gwendolyn, Cory and Kylie, each expressing their genuine gratitude toward the clinic that changed their smiles, giving them confidence. Event Co-Chair Margrey Thompson along with Barb Ford made a plea for contributions to continue this important work. 

The mission of Interfaith Dental is to create a healthier community by providing transformational oral health care for those experiencing poverty. Their vision is for every individual to attain and maintain a healthy smile.
