Dr. Ron O’Neal sponsored “Project Save-A-Smile” for the fifth consecutive year as he and his staff dedicated Saturday, November 14, to helping underprivileged children with their dental needs.
With Kathy Condon shepherding the Kiwanis volunteers, a fun day was had by all those who attended, and a big thank you to them. Take a bow: Mitch Cochran, Peggy & Harry Eisnaugle, Jerry Little, David Abbey, Steve Cunningham, Hunter Booth, Biff Baker, Melissa Kelly, Pat Biscotti, Kevin Carr, Pat Kraujalis, Ron Braun, Karen Van De Putte, Mary Ann Lynch, Carl Miller, Ron & Kathy Scoggins, Kevin Kelso, Markus Mittermayr, Tom Hallis, Candice Nyarkoh, Lorin & Patty Bridge, and Doug Lampe.
Additionally, over twenty Key Club members from St. Pete High School and Shorecrest volunteered their time.
The children were entertained with a variety of activities including games, a bounce house, petting zoo, and the Chick-Fil-A cow. Some of the kids were dancing to music provided by a disc jockey. Former Gator Ed Chester signed autographs, too.
