Smiles for Veterans since 2018

This is a collaborative effort led by our Club to raise funds so low-income veterans can receive dental services at Langley Health Services (LHS) for a $5 co-pay. The low income veteran may also receive full dentures for co-pay $800 with a payment plan with LHS.

We have motivated other clubs/organizations to make donations to the Smiles for Veterans Fund. Jim Bodenner is the liaison for this project.

INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS -

KIVA since 2023

Interested members meet 5-6 times each year. a KIVA.com account is maintained. An initial investment of $200 from the Service Project budget allowed 8 loans of $25 each to women entrepreneurs. Since then over 40 loans have been made with the repaid loan money.

This is a unique way for out members to participate in an international project without travel but with input in the loan decisions. A lot is learned in the process.
