March 13, 2008 Operation Tooth Fairy team members from Lihue, Hawaii, San Rafael, California and Sucre, Bolivia return for the third year to LaSerena,Chile to continue the dental work for the children. Many children have been under the care of Dr. Victor Tapia Aravena,CD.CRT.OCL of LaSerena (see pictures on "recipients") and new patients will be examined and begin their dental treatment. Many children will be on the waiting list until the funds are available to include them in program.
February 24, 2008 "Gala Night in Hollywood" Fundraiser co-sponsored by The Mission San Rafael Rotary Foundation and Operation Tooth Fairy was a stellar success. Rotarians, friends and guests from the Bay Area, as stunningly attired as the Academy Award Nominees, gathered to watch a live broadcast of the ultimate Hollywood Event; dance to the timeless Jules Broussard Ensemble, dine and bid on original works of art, Bay Cruises, Stinson Beach weekends and dining adventures in the best restaurants. The proceeds of the fundraiser will support the work of Operation Tooth Fairy as well as the local service programs of The Rotary Club of Mission San Rafael. Join us next year for the Oscar Gala!
