President Bush to Recognize Little Rock Man for Dedication to Volunteer Service |
|
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.
