2/19/14 - One of the major fundraisers for Livingston Countyâs only low-income dental clinic is coming up next month. The VINA Community Dental Center will hold its annual âHave a Heart, Give a Smileâ charity auction on Saturday, March 15th at the Chemung Hills Golf Club & Banquet Center in Oceola Township. Dr. Christine Love is a retired periodontist who still volunteers at the clinic. She says they are currently averaging about 200 dental appointments a month, with more than 1,750 patients having received treatment at their clinic in Brighton. But it takes money to provide those services free of charge and the auction is one of the main ways they support the clinic. Love says the $75 ticket price will get attendees a wonderful dinner with appetizers, entertainment, and a chance to bid on a variety of unique packages including VIP tickets for a rooftop party to see the Detroit fireworks with a room at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, a gourmet dinner for eight cooked in your home and an instant wine cellar. There will also be a silent auction for approximately 20 baskets put together by area dental offices. Tickets for the auction are on sale now and can be purchased through the link below or at the clinic, which is located at 400 E. Grand River in Brighton. (JK)
