~ “Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more” ~Tony Robbins
At our office, we definitely believe in helping in the community and giving back. We help out with the following local organizations through donating dental products/services or volunteering our time.
American Red Cross
Here's a link to help out in Haiti. It tells about the relief effort and what you can do to help in this current major crisis.

Bee Caves Rotary Club
We help many local organizations including the Lake Travis Crisis Ministries. http://www.rotary.org/.
Check out the link below to see a woman in need here in Lakeway that our Rotary Club began to help out (Our dental office even got to help by fixing her denture with the help of Serreti Labs).

Our office will be volunteering at a local Marble Falls Dental Clinic in the next few weeks to help out those in need in the area.
Lake Travis Education Foundation,

The Crystal Ball is coming up Saturday, Feb 13,2010. This has to be one of the largest local fundraisers and it's alway lots of fun! The LTEF supports education through grants and scholrships for students in the LTISD.
Kindness In Action,

This is an awesome organization based out of Alberta, Canada that provides dental care to communities in Central and South America and the Phillipines that do not have access to dental care. Dr. Patel will be joining their Dental Team for a weeklong project in Peru this March 2010.
Stay tuned updates and for other projects that we're invloved with throughout the New Year!
