To raise awareness about National Childrens Dental Health Month, Drs. Ali & Ali of Wellesley Dental Group are providing free comprehensive exams for all new pediatric patients through February. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that all children see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth, whichever comes first.

The examination appointment allows parents to ask questions and collaborate with the dentist on a oral health plan for the child, and helps the child become familiar with the sights and sounds of the dentist office. To schedule an exam for your child/children, or if you have any questions, please call 781-237-9071 or visit our website.

Dr. Andrews has been practicing and teaching NSA and SRI around the world for 17 years. He has led and facilitated many healing groups and events, large and small.

Jeff McLinden from J.M. Construction is raising funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as a participant in their "Team In Training" program by running the 2010 Boston Marathon on April 19. He hopes to complete the Boston Marathon in four hours.

Thanks to all who have already contributed. Thusfar, $2,095 has been raised, which is 64% of the goal of raising $3250 by February 28. So there is less than 14 days left to raise $1155.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Mission is: To cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin's and Myeloma and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

If you would like to sponsor Jeff, click on the link below. No amount is too small or too large; for example, donate as little as .50 per mile or $13.00. You will receive a confirmation of your donation by email and Jeff will be notified as soon as you make your donation.

On behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, thank you very much for your support.

Do you have prom dresses, semi-formal dresses, cocktail dresses, mother-of-the-bride dresses, or bridesmaid dresses cluttering up your closets? Have you thought about how you really should do something with those dresses?

Well, here's your chance. Donate the dresses to this Communities Without Borders fundraising effort. Not only will you empty your closets of dresses that won't be worn again, you'll be generating income for two very worthwhile causes: Haitian relief and a village in Zambia called Fumbelo that has been particularly hard-hit by HIV/AIDS.

Items can be dropped off at the home of Liz King (207 Weston Road, Wellesley). Liz will gladly pick up the items at your house as well. Call / email her to arrange for this: 781-431-1282 / kingswells@comcast.net.

Both long and short dresses, wraps and evening purses are needed. Dresses don't need to be dry-cleaned or on hangers. It would be great to receive donations asap.

Also, mark your calendars for April 10 and plan on attending the sale. It will be held at the Wellesley Village Congregational Church (2 Central Street, Wellesley). There will be no admission fee; and it is open to the public. Items will be sold at hugely discounted prices. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale will go to Haiti and Zambia.
