Thank you to the volunteers who joined us on April 19th to make Forget-Me-Not flowers for our Veterans. It was such a meaningful way to give back, and seeing everyone—from the kids to the adults—put so much care into their work was truly inspiring. As a special bonus, we were joined by four internationally trained dentists! They led a fantastic session on oral hygiene, giving us all a much-needed refresher on preventing dental diseases. Thank you Yuktha, Imran, Unseba & Naina for presenting the session!! It was the perfect blend of a "feel-good" activity and practical health wisdom for everyone! Thanks again everyone for showing up, working hard, and learning together. See you at the next one! 🌟
