The Smile Express visited Port Clinton City School students teaching about dental health and proper brushing. Most recently, staff of Smile Express visited each classroom in Bataan Elementary to educate children on how to keep their teeth healthy, what food causes cavities and other dental education tips. The lesson concluded with a fun brushing activity and each student received a new toothbrush and toothpaste.

The American Cancer Society has developed a free service for those in need of assistance getting to and from cancer treatments. It is a volunteer driver service called Road To Recovery and it’s coming to Ottawa County. No physician’s referral is needed, advance notice is necessary and rides depend on driver availability.  
Volunteers must have a valid driver’s license and proof of insurance and a training session is required. The first one in the area will be 1 to 3 p.m. Wednesday, March 7, at the Community Resource Center, 8043 W. Ohio 163, Suite 100, Oak Harbor.
