Kansas Mission of Mercy looks for volunteers
The following information comes from Amy Mason, K-State graduate and sorority alumna.
Greetings, my name is Amy M. Mason and I am assisting with the Kansas Mission of Mercy. The Kansas Mission of Mercy (KMOM) project is an oral health initiative where volunteer dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and community volunteers provide free dental care to the public. I am the parking coordinator for KMOM. It is my job to find volunteers to help with parking during the event. As a past member of the Kansas State University Greek Community, I am asking if it would be possible to forward my request to current chapter houses asking for volunteers.
