"Would Your Rather?" Contest and Celebration Videos!
Would you rather have really stinky feet or a snort every time you laughed? Would you rather be the bull rider or the clown? Would you rather eat a bottle of ketchup or mustard? How about a whole bucket of peanut butter with nothing to drink or 10 lbs of cheese?
Would you rather win the game "Would You Rather?" or a gift certificate to Target for $15? Either way you'll be a winner if you're chosen for this month's fun contest of "Would You Rather" questions! Enter in the office!
And just for your enjoyment we are attaching a video of some great patients dancing it up to CELEBRATE the day they got their braces off!
And this is cute Francie who couldn't be happier about her beautiful new smile!

More Updates on Haiti
Dr. Richards is being featured by "Our South Valley" for his volunteer work in Haiti. To see the full story click here.
Update on Dr. Richard's Haiti Trip
Dear Patients and Families:
Since the devastating earthquake hit Haiti on January 12th we have all been shocked with the suffering, injury, loss of life and incredible destruction we have witnessed on television, the internet and in the newspaper. But we have also witnessed amazing stories of survival and a general sense of determination and resiliency in the Haitian people. I have especially watched this drama unfold since I was planning to go to Haiti for a routine humanitarian trip on February 6th with the group International Aid Serving Kids (IASK).
Given the uncertainty of the situation, the members of our team have been anxiously waiting to hear if we would go as scheduled, or if the trip would be postponed. We learned this week that our trip is on, with necessary modifications to meet the current priorities following the earthquake. We will still leave on February 6th, re-routing to the Dominican Republic and then traveling by bus to Port-au-Prince. Originally we were to have gone to a remote village to provide medical and dental care (mostly to children). Now our plan is to go to Leogand, a hard-hit suburb of Port-au-Prince, where we will work and stay at an LDS stake center that survived the quake. We will return on February 13th.
I appreciate all the support from those of you that have contributed to IASK or have simply expressed interest in our trip. The funds contributed will go directly to earthquake relief. I am sure that many, many of you have also contributed generously to other wonderful earthquake relief organizations. Thank you for doing what you can. Hopefully I will have something useful to offer to the suffering but resilient people we will serve.
Best Regards,
Dr. Richards

IASK and Helping in Haiti
Dear Patients and Parents:
In about four weeks my 16 year-old son, Drew, and I will join with about 30 other healthcare providers on a medical/dental humanitarian trip to the impoverished country of Haiti. For years I have wanted to get involved with a humanitarian aid volunteer organization, but like many others, let the busyness of life get in the way of that goal. When this opportunity to participate with International Aid Serving Kids (IASK) presented itself, I just couldn't let it pass by.
I wanted to let you know about my involvement with IASK because I believe that many of you might be interested in being involved in such a worthwhile cause. While we have all been affected by these tough economic times, for the most part, we are all very blessed with food, clothing, shelter and good health (not to mention luxuries like straight teeth!). Many of the children of Haiti are malnourished, live in squalor and are lucky if they even have healthy teeth. There are so many ways to serve others and we certainly can't support every cause that comes our way. You may feel however, you have a few dollars to spare that could go a long way in helping the children of Haiti.
Everyone that is involved with this upcoming aid mission is gladly covering their individual expenses for the trip, as well as additional contributions to the support the needs of the mission. However, in order to adequately provide free medical and dental care, provide medications, vitamins and needed hygiene, medical, dental, school and newborn kits, and sponsor orphan children by placing them in foster care and providing for their costs of living, we are in need of additional on-going donations. One dollar a day can sponsor three well-balanced meals, and another dollar a day will pay for a child's tuition, books, school uniform and other clothing and medical needs. Think what we could do for these impoverished children if we as a practice "family" could each contribute as little as $2!
I look forward to doing what I can to serve the children of Haiti and am excited to share my experiences with you when I return in mid-February. May you each be blessed abundantly this new year and experience great joy as you look for ways to serve others.
