On October 22nd - 24th, California First Lady Maria Shriver is hosting a first of its kind health care event - the Modern House Call for Women - at the Walter Pyramid at CSU Long Beach.
The Modern House Call will provide free medical, dental, and vision care to thousands of women at no cost to the patient, taxpayer or government. This holistic event will also include educational exhibits and counseling services provided by non-profit organizations and government agencies to promote healthy lifestyles and preventive care for today's woman.
Your professional skills are desperately needed by thousands of uninsured, underinsured and unemployed women in the Long Beach area. Your experience as a veteran volunteer will make your participation extremely valuable.
To learn more about the event and to register as a volunteer, please visit our website at www.themodernhousecall.com/register. Half day shifts are available for those who need them. If you have any questions, please email volunteer@themodernhousecall.com or call Lindsay Portnuff at (310) 309-8113.
Together, we can make health care history once again.

Rotary Dental Mission
Thanks to all for volunteering for the March Trip to Mexico. The Rotary Dental Mission was amazing. We had the largest group of providers we've ever had. We saw 135 patients in 2 days and most patients were able to have multiple treatments (mosting cleanings and fillings or extractions). We had 2 dentists from Mexico, 3 hygienists from California (2 from Orange County and 1 from Nevada County) and 5 dentists from Northern California (3 from Nevada County and 2 from Yuba County). We're nailing down a date for October and I'll let you know as soon as it's confirmed.
