I have a sparkly costume for the Assistance League of San Bernardino’s upcoming Route 66: Life’s Highway, and am thankful to also have a sponsor for it. My costume sponsor is Tri-County Dental Society and they are a very special organization. Tri-County serves dentists in San Bernardino, Riverside and Los Angeles counties. Tri-County provides support to the community through their dentists who treat patients. They answer dental practice questions, help with ethical considerations and patient complaints. Tri-County is also a huge advocate of dental professionals volunteering in each county, and always encourage more volunteerism. Because the Headdress Ball primarily raises funds for a dental clinic, I’m super-duper happy about this sponsorship. When a...

There is allot of work, engineering and creativity that happens prior to my wearing a headdress for the ALSB Headdress Ball. These headdresses are much heavier than the ones used in Vegas. Like 20-30 pounds heavier. So, a VERY TIGHT cinch is needed, to keep the headdress in place. A 3 foot bar is positioned in the back of the cinch, near the small of my back. FIrst the bar is placed in the cinch and measured to my height. Then it is bent to match my body type. After some welding, pounding and bending, the bar is placed back in my cinch. A sturdy helmet is then positioned on top of the bar, and the headdress is built out from there. What is important to note, is the helmet does not touch my ears, forehead or rest on my head. The cinch and weight take all the...

This past fiscal year the San Bernardino Assistance League took 282 underprivileged students in San Bernardino shopping for new clothes, socks, shoes, and backpacks. Target will be joining in assisting our efforts and is the store for the August shopping spree. ALSB LOVES receiving thank-you notes such as this one: “Thank you for taking me to buy clothes. The day I received my new clothing was the best day of my life. I will never forget about this. Now, I want to go to school every day!” The Dr. Earl Crane Dental Center is also experiencing success. More children were served this year, mostly due posting flyers. Over 1,000 students have been seen by our dentist in the past year, and 4,000 were provided an oral health screening. Over 1,500 hours of...
