TREATS FOR THE TROOPS

The DeVor Dental Practice invites Halloween revelers of all ages to stop by their Madison Avenue offices on Monday, November 1, 2010 between 3:00–5:30 p.m., to take part in its second annual Halloween Buyback!, a candy drive for America’s men and women serving overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. The candy will be distributed to our troops via Operation Gratitude. The Devor Dental Practice is located at 13616 Madison Ave. in Lakewood.All are invited to stop by and contribute some trick-or-treat bounty and help this year's goal of collecting 200 pounds of candy. As a token of gratitude, every child will receive a brand new $1.00 bill for each pound of candy he or she brings in to the office (up to 5 pounds). Joining the festivities will be Bobo the clown and his ark of balloon animals, as well as the Chick-Fil-A cow, providing laughs and entertainment for all. Snacks will also be provided. It’s not only become an annual enamel saver and a good denture prevention measure, but a way of sending some back-home appreciation to our armed-services personnel, sweetening the day and brightening the smiles of scores of United States soldiers. All are welcome. For more information, contact Michelle Macek at (216) 221-1438. Web site http://www.gregdevordds.com/.
