A video was produced for early grade school children and distributed to our local libraries and schools. The Community Emergency Response Team has trained us as “first responders.”
Volunteerism
A dental mission to Bosnia was completed where war refugees were treated. There is a yearly prophy-sealant day in February
where services are rendered to underprivileged children from volunteers such as Ms. Bobbett. Dental hygiene gives Ms. Bobbett a chance to participate in community activities that promote dental health, show confidence in other health professions, be actively involved in the dental hygiene association and support the advancement of the dental hygienist.

Travel I love traveling to all parts of the world and have been on all seven continents. Travel stems from growing up in a military family and moving every four years. Each trip I take holds a special memory and it is my hope to keep visiting different cultures each year, near and far.
