A donation to Haiti can whiten your teeth

If you can bake, you bake. If you can write a check, you write a check.

If you’re a dentist, you whiten teeth.

A lot of Americans are donating their skills and resources to earthquake victims in Haiti.

On Monday, Dr. George Hussey and his staff will set up folks to brighten smiles in order to raise money for Haiti.

A minimum $100 donation will get you a whitening kit and an appointment where an impression of your teeth will be made for a custom whitening tray.

Call 360-653-5197 to make an appointment.

All proceeds will go to the American Red Cross Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund, said Lindsey Norton, the financial coordinator at the dental office, which is at at 16825 Smokey Point Blvd. in Arlington.

“Please come,” Norton said. “Invite family and friends to brighten their smile and partner together with us to help a country in desperate need.”

  • Work by Tulalip artists will be featured at the Marysville High Band Boosters Auction and Dinner Gala.

    This is the last morning to buy tickets to the event, planned for 6 p.m. Feb. 6 at Totem Middle School, 1605 Seventh St. in Marysville.

    “We are working so hard to make this a successful evening,” said Roxanne Standiford with the Boosters.

    The Marysville-Pilchuck Jazz Band will perform swing music. Auction items include a 2002 Crown Victoria, condo lodging in Hawaii, an overnight stay at the Tulalip Resort, a hand-painted paddle by Tulalip artist James Madison and a hand-painted drum by Tony Hatch.

    Money raised will help students go to Disneyland this spring.

    Tickets are $25, or $15 for a child. Prices go up five bucks at the door.

    For more information, call 360-653-4048.

  • Wash grease off your hands and eat a free lunch.

    Wanda Lowery with Twin City Collision in Stanwood said a free car care clinic is planned at 10 a.m. Feb. 6 at 8530 Cedarhome Drive, Suite A.

    Learn tasks necessary to keep vehicles running efficiently, what questions to ask when hiring a professional, your rights as a customer, what regular maintenance needs to be performed, how to improve gas mileage, how to change a tire and more.

    For anyone wanting a little more information or some hands-on instruction, stay for Car Care Clinic No. 2 at noon.

    Lunch will be provided after the second session.

    Make a reservation by calling 360-629-5152.

    “A few teens usually get dragged in by their parents and are happy with the info they leave with,” Lowery said. “The food is also helpful for the teen boys.”
