What is Community Service? “Community service is work done by a person or group of people that benefits others. It is often done near the area where you live, so your own community reaps the benefits of your work.”  From: http://blog.prepscholar.com/what-is-community- service What is Community Service?

ASDA Outreach and ideas for your chapter A few ASDA members went to Genoa Middle School for career day. We presented students with a power point presentation about the dental profession, followed by a question and answer session. Students were able to pick which professions they were interested in and we had over 80 students sign up to hear about the exciting field of dentistry!!  ASDA Outreach and ideas for your chapter

OSU participated in "Communities in Schools"  twice at Finland Middle School. We passed out oral hygiene supplies and instructions and reached over 100 families. OSU
