President George W. Bush will meet Dr. Michael Quick upon arrival in Little Rock, Arkansas, on Monday, November 10, 2003. Quick, an orthodontist in North Little Rock, volunteers with Donated Dental Services.

Earlier this year, President Bush celebrated the first anniversary of the USA Freedom Corps – his initiative to engage all Americans in service to their neighbors and their nation. President Bush is recognizing individuals around the country, like Quick, who are answering the call to volunteer service.

In 2001, Quick became an active volunteer with Donated Dental Services, a national organization dedicated to providing free comprehensive dental care for older Americans, disabled individuals and others who cannot afford treatment. Since opening his orthodontist practice in 1983, Quick has regularly helped individuals who cannot afford proper dental care by providing treatments free of charge. As a volunteer with Donated Dental Services, Quick offers free dental care to more patients, recruits dentists in Arkansas to be a part of this program and is working to expand this organization nationwide.

President Bush created the USA Freedom Corps office at the White House to foster a culture of service, citizenship and responsibility. Through the USA Freedom Corps, President Bush wants to help every American answer the call to volunteer service by strengthening and expanding service opportunities to protect our homeland, support our communities and extend American compassion around the world. Interested volunteers can find opportunities in their own neighborhoods through the USA Freedom Corps web site at www.usafreedomcorps.gov or by calling 1-877-USA-CORPS.
